From what I was able to get:
4005 means 4000 model with a 157 inch wheel base.
F means it was built at the Flint, Michigan Plant.
31978 is the serial number.
E makes it a Class 5. 16,001-19,500 GVW.

Thanks for the info. found insurance paper and truck is listed as a 1966. What serial number started in 1966, 1001? Will have block numbers tomorrow, After replacing about all the gas line was able to start and drive home and she runs like champ but no brakes. Bought a Chevrolet truck just like it in Wichita for 200.00 that ran when parked but someone helped them selves to the gas tank, truck is a 292 4 speed /2 speed. will bring that one home next week, gonna drive it home about 80 miles. It'll be an adventure!!

.
What do you have for ends. anything on your pto or what you want to drive on the other end. you pretty well have to make them up. as long as you can get the yokes and ujoints for the ends you can just go get a shaft whether it is round or square shaft that you need. truck or farm implement or hydraulic shops are good places to get the ends. There are quite a few different end.
here is a pict of a shaft that i have laying around. there id a different yoke on either end

Would the PTO shaft from a '63 C30 work?

Ron did not see a picture. Does one end or both travel (move) so that shaft , may be connected? I saw one that had bolts that tightened shaft to the yoke , both sides after installation, not what I would call a GM design. Someone or corp supplied yoke ends and u-joint end to GM originally, not off the self. I want mine to function and look as designed if at all possible.

GM didn't really supply them. who ever supplied the optional equipment supplied the setup . i you needed a dump box, you specified what box and it would go to them and be installed. a lot of these things were also installed at the dealer end. winches, snow blades or tow truck setup would go to who supplied those. most of the ujoints would have been fairly standard so most dealers would have them in stock. some had the pto on the trans and some had them on the transfer case. there would be no such thing as a std pto shaft
1 st pic is my old 4 x 4 pto shaft and the second is for the lift for the deck on my 1 ton. for the 2nd one you can see that it has been modified a few time and the last time for going around corners. I just went to the local steel place and bought a new piece of square stock and have to put it in. one end is slippable for one end and bolts to the yoke on the other end, I was a parts man for IHC in trucks and also farm equip and later sold IHC and Pacific Truck and Trailer years ago
I realize that every one wants to go to the corner store and whatever off the shelf to fit but it doesn't just work that way.
I get calls frequently for furniture parts. I need a leg for a chair that I bought 35 years ago.do you have one. 1st of all I have no idea of what their chair even looks like and the manufac. more than like quit making that style 35 years ago and then went out of business 20 years ago and we haven't even gotten down to colour yet. then you tell them that you can make them a new one. the first thing that spouts from their mouth is how much and you still haven't seen it. you wish that you didn't pick up the phone
