I had the misfortune of missing out on a scoutII for $50 just a week ago.It
went to a wrecker.Same as yours,but the 345 was seized.

Well here's another one.I have a '56 ASW120 (W is 4X4).I'm in Ipswich,Q'ld.
To those who remember,I've finally got some definite leads(names and 'phone
numbers)on front axles from 3 ABW120s.All out bush,but available.After
three years' search I get three offers on one day.Praise be to the
swap-meet god!All this for a lousy brake drum.....
