Hi Henry, fitting a winch should not be a problem. The Danish army Power Wagons that are being broken up in Europe have two demountable winch brackets that just bolt to the front of a non-winch chassis. I used two of them to put a winch on my WC53 and it bolted straight on in a day. Winch, bumper, hooks are the same as WC with winch I think, as are the PTO / lever / shaft. Alternatively you could cut the first 10" of chassis from a winch equipped WC and just weld it on. On the WC you need to swap the radiator side panels and radiator grille guard too, but I really cant see it being a problem. Only difference when using the brackets is that the tow hooks are one inch or so forward (or back) on the original - hardly a problem. Maybe all Power Wagon chassis came plain front and the brackets were just added when required ? Gordon
