Yes Robert, the tracta joints are a worry, although with yours if it was out of the army and very quickly parked up you may be lucky. Axle bearings taper and roller are over the counter stock. The seals oil and fording are another question and be prepared to shell out the dollars to get these from the UK. It took two donor vehicles to complete our resto we named them "Crayfish" rough on the outside and nice on the inside,however, your body looks a lot better than ours started out as. May the force be with you Robert as you enter the dark art of Humber drive train repair and of course the rust. Our resto thread has some pics of our tracta joint overhaul and of course I am sure that Rich and I can offer plenty of advice from afar.
