The Chevrolet K-43 and K-44 trucks had a pto drive to winch and augur, rather than a separate engine.
That is presumably why the previous owner of my K-43 changed the engine to a GMC 270, but mated it to the Chevrolet transmission and transfer to keep the winch drive.

If I am not mistaken this truck may have been featured in the Darling Buds of May. If I remember correctly the truck was that shade of purple.
Cheers

It was sitting in Mike Stallwoods yard at RR Services when a TV company needed a blue ex-army truck for "The Darling Buds of May" TV series, so he pulled off the body, dropped on a cargo body, painted it blue ...
last time I heard the back body base and winch were still there.

Ah I remember the telivision series, They actually had two of them painted purple They are not identicle. A friend of mine in Devon UK has bought one of them and tells me if you studdy the filming you can pick out the differences....I'll take his word for it.
