I did get a second valve assembly surplus from another member here that I don't need since I went with the diverter instead. Figured when I needed to winch, I got to get out to hook the cable anyway. Just flip the valve to winch.
Now some nitty gritty.
I picked a used hoist. Don't know if I'd do that again. This one is a monster, It should pick up anything I throw in the bed.
The cylinder at the rear hangs down below the top of the frame. To get enough clearance, I had to cut a notch in the cross member, nothing...
After a 6 month break to work outside, we finally got back to this project.
Here are some pics:
Scissor Hoist
Diverter valve, hydraulic from winch control goes to hoist or winch. Controls in cab control either.

Rear hinges/ lowered bumpers.
I'm contemplating tapping the winch hydraulic system to power a dump on my deuce.
Thought I'd ask if anyone has checked the pressure of this system.
It looks as though another air operated valve could be stacked next to the winch valve, does any on have one to sell or a lead on one?
