I'm unsure who did the bodywork, but it was used by the catchment commission in the Lower North Island of NZ.

Do you know if a gearbox from a later model MCC will fit a CS8 (for example an LC3 gearbox?)

The LC3 gearbox is not compatible , nothing from it will fit the CS8 .

I have bits & pieces from four CS8's , if you need anything , let me know .

Being over engineered, the rear axles tend to last forever .

You will find the brake system interesting eg copper brake pipes with single flared ends

You will need two replacement LEYRUB rubber joints for the prop shaft to the rear axle . Commer trucks of the 1950's used the same joint , a chap over here has got new ones, but he wants an arm and a leg for them
