The GMC CCKW

a bit of a bare bones starter restoration , also seems to have had an engine transplant ?

She may be bare bones but she is a beauty. Old Betty Boop wasn't nearly this nice or complete when I started her restoration.

What's the engine, anybody know? Some put Bedford diesel engines in for the fuel economy in the U.K.

Might not have been changed, looks like a GMC badge to me.

The exhaust routing is what leads us to wonder about the engine.
The truck looks straight and a good candidate for restoration.

Yes I too think it can be returned to what it once was , only finding a correct rear body may be very difficult , and I think it was a winch model that had its winch cut off, likely easier to finish as a standard non-winch than to try and replace it . I hope the Owner will update the group as things develope.

From the look of the frame horn I don't think it was a winch model
Look at the lower extension on the inner fender panel.
On my winch truck that "wedge" shape extension is missing on both sides of the lower panel.
The same goes for the G506 series of trucks.

I stand corrected , Your right , I didn't check that detail ......and the reinforcement frame from the winch would run back beyond the front leaf spring mounts .
