But are you saying finding a pto to work for this transmission will be hard? Or can I just find another truck with a spicer transmission and get it's pto? The 8 bolt since it's on the side I need. And/or could my sm465 trans 6 bolt pto work on the left side of this transmission and operate a winch or front mounted something? Dont think ill do that but if i could and I find the deal why not haha.

The PTO you need whether it's to mount on the 6-bolt or 8-bolt flange needs to be specific to your Spicer model number. The SM-465 is made by GM and nothing about it is compatible with the Spicer transmission.

Sorry it's been a lil bit since I posted but I'm actually getting around to this engine/trans swap for my truck. Anyway I was wondering what I need to know exactly to be able to find a pto that will work for this transmission?
Would it be easiest to be looking for another Spicer trans just like mine with a pto or are there other models that could interchange?
I'm just not sure how to even search for this online either? I do know a good older truck salvage yard that's pretty handy for older trucks and medium-heavy duty trucks is their specialty. They actually rebuilt a 2 speed rear end for me on a 85 f600. I just need to know what exactly I should know before calling them and asking them if they could help me out....
