Shown left to right: Ford tractor belt pulley, Jeep belt pulley, Dodge belt pulley. The three share no parts in common. The only real similarity between them is that they all three will fit an 1-3/8" 6-B PTO spline (as far as Ford - only if you find the right unit).

The Jeep belt pulley is highly sought after by Jeep collectors and slightly less rare than the Dodge belt pulley. The 1-3/8" spline Ford pulley in nearly as rare as the Jeep pulley. The more common Ford pulley had 1-1/8" splines.

To fit a Jeep pulley to the Power Wagon pillow block, one would need to fabricate an adapter to transition from the "square" bolt pattern on the pillow block to the "non-square" pattern on the Jeep pulley. A better and cheaper choice (but not by much) would be to find the 1-3/8" spline Ford pulley. It will fit right up to the Dodge pillow block as the mounting hole pattern matches. However, when mounted the Ford pulley wheel will be positioned much closer to the pickup box rear C-channel than the original Dodge unit.

You can check out a description with photos of the Dodge tailshaft and belt pulley at the link below to Phil's t137 site. If you are familiar with the Jeep parts, you see they are quite different than what was used on the Dodge.

To apply all of the Jeep rear PTO driveline parts to a Power Wagon would be a challenge and require an investment both in money and time. The cheapest solution for a truck that has none of the parts would be to find a common Ford tractor 1-1/8" spline belt pulley and custom build a pillow block and driveline to fit the truck.

And then there is the issue of bidding against Jeep enthusiasts. If they find out you are a Dodge guy, they get very competitive. ;^)
