Thanks Dave,
Good to hear the truck is legitimate.

Thanks Phil,
I have gone over your site quite thoroughly over the past! I will certainly use the template if no cover/hatch is to be found.

David,
The engine number on the 235 is XC708117 stamped just behind the disty. The original engine has a plate here and the number is 5269790 which does not match the dash plate at all. Are there numbers located someplace else?
BTW what does MACH-ZL2 signify?

I pulled the plugs on the 216 and #1 and #6 are very corroded while the others are in excellent condition which leads me to believe water entered through the carburetor. If I drained the oil I can only assume water will be the first to exit.

Are there any resources or reasonable sources of parts for these? CMP's in general. I am going to weld the steering arm but a replacement is a better idea. Same for other bits like windshield straps, side window frames, gauges... etc.
