Well, I'd glady post pictures if I had any flippin clue as to how to do so. I asked, but the forum renewed before I could get back and check the answer so I'm still living in the dark.
The jeep parts are readily available because they're still building jeeps in the Phillipines. Think that might have anything to do with the parts availability? The last of these PW's rolled down the line in '68 and that was for export. As far a fiberglas goes, do you know what is involved in building something so complex as these cabs in fiberglas? It would cost more for a repro cab that to go buy other PW's and put them together and you have something that is going to twist and rattle to pieces in a few years and don't get the spare parts you'd get by piecing several PW's together. You'd also have something that is NOT original and therefore has little collector value. It's a matter of supply and demand and the demand for after market just isn't here. If I can buy 4 parts trucks for $4,000 or one figerglas cab, guess which way I'm gonna go!
