I have it, might as well use it. Are their any companies that make a dump bed setup that uses the Allison PTO?

Simple answer...Yes.

Problem is, your truck, although it has the [near] same Allison, PTO is only an option for the cab/chassis, and 4500's and up. The accommodation is there in the tranny, but it is an omitted option for the reg. production 3500's.

I suppose a person could make it work, if they really wanted to. You'd have to make room in the floor and other surrounding components, as well as getting the computer programming installed.

Thanks for the quick info. I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. It would be nice though, don't you think? Maybe I'll just go with the Load Hog setup. They at least address the trailer hitch.
