Yep, the WM's did come with belt pulleys. Even the Sweptsides and I think Power Giants had them as options. I have a brochure from 1957 that shows a belt pulley and it says:

Pulley Drive, mounted at the rear, will operate saws, pumps, other belt-driven machinery. The pulley, 6 5/8" wide, can be governed for standard belt speeds. (Available W300 only.)

Elsewhere in the text it says "On the W300 (Power-Wagon), forward and rear drive shafts are available for auxiliary power equipment. On the W500 (big brother to the Power-Wagon), only the forward drive shaft is available."

I guess this adds fuel to the other discussion about what should be called a Power Wagon! A W500, by Dodge's own words, is a "big brother to the Power-Wagon). Ha ha ha ha!
