Thanks Rob I haven't had a look at a map yet to see where every one is located.

I am being realistic with this truck, and I know that while I have it, the best I can hope for is something that I can put in my ANZAC Day display. This amounts to a 300 metre drive to my front paddock for the line up, and maybe a run up the back paddock with the kids.

So from overseas I would like to source a rear output shaft for the transmission and a glove box door. I have thought the cost of a hood from o/s will be the same as the panel shop will charge me to repair the original hood "lots". But if I can get all the ducks to line up and a good hood can make its way here I will be happy with that. There is no hurry for the hood or glovebox door but I want to get the transmission shaft as soon as possible.

I am going to fit a CCKW transfer case and the 3 tailshafts I can get made by a friend, I won't put one to the front axle.

There is a absolutely beautiful M211 that does ANZAC Day parades in Australia and I know I haven't a hope of reaching that level of perfection, with the M216.

So long as mine moves, and the jewellery and paint is presentable, I will be happy.

Ken
