Its a canadian mfg truck, I had a real nice D500 with the 69-71 sheet metal! I also had a 69 ex PG&E W500 just like this one including front winch (a Braden 20,000 lb), however the winch was driven from a ramsey pto on the transfer case with a reversing gearbox chain driven from the pto. My truck had a second deck mounted winch behind the cab driven from a pto on the trans with another reversing gearbox. The gearboxes were Ernest Holmes (but I think made by Braden)and were self clutching direct engaging with only one lever needed to operate each winch. I kept one of the gearboxes when I sold the truck. I still have a ramsey PTO for the timken t-case if anyone needs one too. I bought my truck at a PG&E auction finally, years later I traded it for a W300.
