Thanks Andy, I know. I was wondering if he sold it after all those year and miles covered. Talk about a trusty warhorse!

Anyway, so your truck looks the same as Tom's?

Nigel Watson had a burnt out LAAT years ago, don't know if he has any parts left?

Ah yes, here it is. The thread dates back to 2009, so I don't know if he still has any of the two bodies he had.

It has some panels bowed from heat although all structure items seem ok. The other body is much worse. Am hoping to be able to sell/alter this one and wood panel the other one.

Gee, That looks a bit sad. That photo could have been taken recently here in Australia as the Bushfires rage around Gippsland and the Yass area. I have only heard of one CMP thus affected so far. Hope there are no more.
