I just got a Chevrolet that I believe is a 1946 1 1/2 ton. Here are the numbers off of the data plate. Model#9OS10 Serial#3539

There is a PTO that is part of the main drive shaft. Either the gear OR the rear end are coupled to the front shaft off of the transmission. Is this a Chevrolet factory item or after market or some sort?

Here is a picture:
