PTO was standard (for tyre pump compressor) on 1533X2 Chevs as used by the LRDG.

Andrew,
The Chevs you refer to were 4x2 as I recollect, so PTO and tyre pump were on the side of the main gearbox. The PTO in question here is on the transfer box.

cheers Richard

Very interesting indeed
That leads to the next set of questions
What is the likelihood of finding a decent standard cab and doors, engine bay side covers and a cargo body to suit in Australia ?
I was told that the bodies were only light pressed steel and cracked and rotted away very quickly
