3.43 metres (135 inches) is the standard wheelbase for a KC truck chassis.

You can see (from the photograph) the Bedford TK 'cowl'.

The 7 digit indicates that it was fitted with a 200 cu in 4 cylinder diesel engine (the fore-runner of the 220 cu in diesel engine). My fault for assuming it would be the 220 (which replaced the 200 in 1961 so you seem to have one of the last 200s)!

57 b.h.p. at 2,600 and 139 lb.-ft. at 1,400 r.p.m were the figures for the 200 engine.
