Here is the 68 Crew Cab. It has a Braden MU-5 rated at 20K and is run by a PTO hydraulic pump. The bad thing is the winch drive hangs low and is chain driven to the winch. Not for off road. The other bad thing is it uses one of the saddle tanks for hydraulic fluid, still two more gas tanks though . I would think you could have a hydraulic drive attached right to the input shaft of the winch. The other thing is to have an electric pump instead of the PTO pump in case the engine is dead. I can't report on how it works, as I have never used it. Heavy duty though for hoisting cars out of ditches. The other unique thing are two adjustable feet that swing down from under the bumper and a gin pole set-up.
