G'day Jason,

Any hour of labour in Australia is dear that is why most of our manufacturing is done overseas. You would be paying for someone's wage unless you came and did it yourself.

What was the whole thing worth unstripped? It might have cheaper and given you some extra parts you might need down the road as you would still have to transport something the size of a chassis home anyway

Kind Regards
Lionel

For $2000 you could have had any number of whole vehicles off ebay or similar. Most not 15cwt though. I've not yet heard reply from my chap. I know he has at least 2 15cwt chassis.
