Thanks Andy, I know. I was wondering if he sold it after all those year and miles covered. Talk about a trusty warhorse!

Anyway, so your truck looks the same as Tom's?

Nigel Watson had a burnt out LAAT years ago, don't know if he has any parts left?

Ah yes, here it is. The thread dates back to 2009, so I don't know if he still has any of the two bodies he had.

It has some panels bowed from heat although all structure items seem ok. The other body is much worse. Am hoping to be able to sell/alter this one and wood panel the other one.

Gee, That looks a bit sad. That photo could have been taken recently here in Australia as the Bushfires rage around Gippsland and the Yass area. I have only heard of one CMP thus affected so far. Hope there are no more.

Andy,

It was larger than the maximum file size, so I have re-sized the picture and attached it to this post.

Did you manage to get in touch with Nigel?

I think there are at least three LAAT's in the Uk without the original body, maybe more.....It could prove interesting to get together and have multiple bodies remade? or partly remade to cut costs???
