Thanks Cliff,

I haven't been able to find those pics on the AWM site, I must be using the wrong search terms.

A bit of luck today, I visited a fellow not far from here, and have picked up this KS5R. The engine turns over, and the front axle is still around. It's a spares unit for now!

Cheers,
Matt

nice spares truck Matt. Most of the AWM Inter photos I have came from searches of 'Northern Territory', 'Darwin', 'North/South Military Highway' and 'Trucks'. 'Transport' is another along with the true names of some of the Transport Companies especially those hauling between Alice Springs and Darwin. Hope this helps

There's a girl on Facebook selling a k5 for her dad. Hope the link works.
