Mate you obiously don't know Aussie Farmers do you. It would have been cheaper by far $ wise to graft a good front that was just 'lieing in the paddock' onto the old truck which needed it as she was still mechanically sound thus making her roadworthy again!

At least Australian farmers did it with a little sense of craftsmanship. The "cab jobs" our farmers did here in the US look like fitting a square peg into a round hole!
Knew I'd seen that cab somewhere before!
