Knowing how hard it is to access wheels and tires and adapters for the 8cwts, I'll likely use the cab on a 15cwt and not use the chassis. Anybody wanting 8cwt parts let me know. I'd prefer to trade for stuff I need but that's not always possible. Rob, both those shock mounts are there. Did you ever get enough wheels?

Default Yes, I am up and parade ready!

I am up and running concerning 13 inch rims and adapters. Still looking for 2 tires for the front rims, running aircraft tires up there just to keep rolling. See pic...she's a beauty. Cheers Rob

Excellent recovery Dave! Seems to good to use for parts maybe????

If you do decide to use the cab for another project and use the rest for parts, than I would be interested in the shock links if they are still in good nick(rod that runs from the shock absorber arm to te axle) and to a lesser extent, the parking brake rods and the filler ring that goes between the rear springs and spring hangers.
