There are still a couple decent tubs out in Westbourne surplus yard here in Manitoba. But one mans idea of decent may be another man's equivelent of scrap so you would have to look at them yourself.
All A1 tubs are not exactly the same, but close enough. The battery box lid had a different closure on the earliest tubs (50s) and even between the 67 and the 70 tubs there are some differences like seat belt points and some minor differences at the taillight mounting points. 1970/71 also had the closed hood hinges so the hood wouldn't fly off your head if you forgot to latch the hood whilst driving, but the mounting points for the hinges were the same, so you could change the hinges across. There are some other minor differences on the dash, but in a pinch, any M38A1 tub would interchange.
One has to watch those repli tubs. Apparently they all pretty much come from MD Juam of the Philipines, and no two are exactly alike. Seems like there are some serious issues regarding frame to body mounting points, fender mounting points, cowl geometry, etc.
