Due to recent deterioration in health, I find myself unable to maintain and drive my grey truck as often as it deserves. By now i expected to have painted it green, but that hasn't hqppened, and probably won't for some time. It deserves better attention than i am able to give, so I'm putting it up for sale. I have a new set of king pins, and would like new owner to get these installed, as it should cure the steering wander, which although not dramatic, (and you do get used to it) annoyed me greatly. Brakes are good. Dual battery system has been set up by previous owner to me, who was a retired electrical engineer and used the truck on interstate trips over a period of years. For long distance driving, both fuel tanks have been swapped for ones approx 50% bigger than originals. A modern 4cyl diesel engine has been professionally installed, as has a 4 speed synchro gearbox. Truck cruises at 85km/h peacefully, but goes faster if you don't mind the noise! At some point in the vehicles past, the roof hatch has been removed, and the welding up is not attractive. I was going to apply a coat of stone guard over it and put cargo on the roof, such as camo netting etc.. I have a spare frame from a sunshine cab that can go with the truck, if that is of interest. I also have 2x spare rooves that could donate hatch and replacement roof metal to braing6back original look. Buyer is welcomed to these as well!

I have light truck tyres on it at present, and there is two more new tyres of same tread in the shed. I also have a set of 4 wheels (in green) with bar tread tyres. Which tyres/wheels go with the vehicle is to be discussed with potential purchaser.

I am selling so i don't watch this vehicle deteriorate for lack of attention. It deserves better than that, and I am not capable of giving the care needed. Vehicle is for sale at $4000. It will be sold with QLD registration. Personalised plates do not go with the vehicle.

I intend to continue with restoration of the green truck and the 25 pounder replica. These two can more than fill my time.

Further details available to prospective purchasers. Please send me a private message in first instance.

Im sorry to see this truck go, but i have to be realistic. I'm not able to do everything i used to do, and things are worsening. I want my legacy to be a well restored (green) CMP and a 25pr copy pulled behind it. I don't have time for other projects.
