Commer suggestion
I can't be much help on this side of the Atlantic. My suggestion for finding a candidate project would be to put a classified ad in Miliweb, or similiar UK equipment or vintage car/truck publication.
There are plenty of eyeballs on the page every month, and you are probably going to buy someone's abandoned project to give them a quick injection of 'how can I get rid of this headache?' cash.

Commer
A friend of mine has got one, it could be for sale, but it’s pre war, June 39 civilian truck. There were lots of them left behind at Dunkirk and then used by Jerry! It looks more or less the same as a wartime military one.
Would you like his number ? Cheers, Andy

Commer project lead #2: Food Flying Squad Commer Welfare Van in Belgium
Hi Kevin,
Here's another lead for a Commer Q2 in Belgium. It needs a lot of work but at least the essentials seem to still be there. It has been for sale for quite a while and as far as I can tell was still present in 2021. If you're interested I can send you contact details. As you can see, this has been fitted with a coach built cab after WW2. Looking closely at the scuttle/ cowl, I noticed the windscreen is part of the coachbuilt cab, and not of the original cab. It seems to have been a flat-face cowl supplied to a coachbuilder. I think this was a Welfare Van originally, as used by the Food Flying Squad. After WW2, a dozen Commer Welfare Vans were supplied to UNRRA and sent to Belgium. I think this could very well be one of them and it would make one heck of a resto - a very difficult one, but really unique! IMG_4948.jpg IMG_4949.jpg S-1167-0009-00001.jpg
