Hi to Phil, Terry and Richard and thanks for you suggestions and throwing out the welcome mat guys. Yes I have the bug and it is a bitter sweet one at that. Patience is going to be the key to get me through the long nights with no project....hahaha! Phil I will check out the cckw site thanks for that one. Richard, I can see where you are coming from with your advice. I think my only option is to get a back load arrangement going. The truck is driveable but not registered so while it can't be driven the long way home it can be loaded from a ramp with ease. The guy with the truck said I can leave it there until I can get transportation for it.

I will keep you guys posted on my progress if and when it happens.
Cheers to you all and thnks again for taking the time to respond.

Phillip

While it would be inaccurate to say they come up for sale all the time, you might have better chances finding one closer to home. Of course you really can't call SEQ "close' to home, but the Military Jeep Club of Queensland and the Queensland Military Vehicle Group are your State clubs where you might find something, although predominately operating in the Gold Coast-Brisbane-Sunshine Coast area. You could also contact the Yahoo Group of the Tablelands Military Group.

Another option is to contactact Ross Prince at Hervey Bay, who has fairly well developed MV contacts of vehicle owners throughout Queensland (He will be a good cantact to keep as he sells a wide range of spares for most MVs). He can be contacted on this forum by sending him a PM to Lendlease.
