Start putting the word out in the collector car groups that you are interested in hearing about vehicles like the cab 13, give them photos to remind them what you want. Most of them don't want the trucks you are seeking so will be willing to pass on info that they come across while looking for what interests them. You could also score running inline engines from guys who want to take them out in favour of v8s.
A jeep collector in the Ottawa area used to run a WANTED ad in the local Auto Trader paper. He ended up with somthing like 50 jeeps coming his way including some rare types (he didn't buy or keep all of them), he also got leads to CMP this way. I hadn't seen any CMPs around Ottawa for many years (except the War Museum), now I own 7 frames and somewhat less sheet metal plus a few extra engines. Surprising what jumps out once you have a network helping you.
Do you know any helicopter pilots that operate low and slow who might keep their eyes open in return for a suitable reward?
