My memories of my 1972 TK (KCC) originally had a Chev 6 Cyl petrol which was converted to a 253 V8 Holden which had a nice "purr " when running … I know that Bedford down here in Australia produced a TK fitted with a 308 Holden V8 (Chev) which were quite popular but I suspect that there were numerous combinations … I think with these smaller models with the GVM of 7.5 Tons all had the typical 4 speed box with a gear lever that swiveled all over the place …I loved my little TKSorry for being pedantic but, both 253 and 308 are Australian (GM-Holden) designed and built. They shared the stroke, but differed in bore and cams. The Chev was 307, 327 and 350.
I stand corrected I was under the impression that the Holden V8,s were the same as the Chev being GM … while I was with the bushfire service there was a canteen TK with the 6 cyl "Mexican Chev " it is still there now its an early 70,s model
