On our 55.2 3600 truck, there was a PTO on the side of the 4 speed top loader trans. I assume the PTO was installed by the fire company that owned it before me, to operate the water pump in the bed.
Anyhow, I do not need the PTO and wanted extra room under the body and also wanted to clean up the driveline area a little bit. I have the PTO off the trans and I neeed a block off plate. I was gonna make one out of flat stock, this would work eh? I would use gasket paper to seal it along with some good silicone gasket sealant. Is there anything else I need to do before I close the access hole up? I am gonna post the PTO for sale in Parts For Sale.

The shortest bolts you can buy...they need not go in and interfere with the internals,

any HD Truck shop should have the parts cheap. I recommend copper washers to help seal the bolts.
