Welcome on board "ArticCamper"...... a lot of us have nick names but we tend to use our first name on the Forum.

You call yourself old at 57..... you probably still have pimples!!!

Anyways MLU in North AMerica is a good shopping ground for CMPs.

the older cab 11 and cab 12 are getting harder to find ..... but your young so time is on your side...... also depends how deep your money bag is....deals are to be had but transportation is the killer.

Basically all parts are available for the CMP of whatever models. I am a firm believer in the concept that you cannot rebuild one without a few parts trucks for spares and trading cards for bits and pieces. Sad part is we are all looking after the same parts....such as good sound sheet metal.

Bucket headlights do exists........ met a new cab 11 owner last week who scored two new headlights NOS for $200 each and according to current European prices he's got a bargin.

Now if you have the buckets the glass reflectors and bulbs and lens are available from Mac Auto in Niagara Falls NY...... they were Ford type head lights....so were the door handles.....and the brakes

My question of why do you want one...? have you ever sat in one.....

They have suicide doors, seats are uncomfortable, cab is hotter than hell in Summer, butt ugly and if over 6 feet tall and 190 pounds better look for a huge shoe horn.

........ this from a guys who is 215 and 6'2" and is working on one..... some say I am trying to pay for all my sins from my younger years.

Check out the Hammond Barn if you have a chance. Don't be shy about asking questions. There has been some very interesting thread in the past years on cab 11 and 12 restoration.......nothing is impossible.
