Congratulations on joing us Yank truck owners, you will find a tremendous source of knowledge on here and some pretty good leads. I can't say where you'd find a PTO shaft for your truck in England or Europe, though I am sure there must be one or two laying around, but Eastern Surplus, Philadelphia, Pa; White Owl Parts, Kinston, NC.; Saturn Surplus, Chambersburg, Pa.; Memphis Equipment Company, Memphis, TN, and Boyce Equipment in Utah all leap to mind as possible parts sources, and several have experience in exporting ditto.....


Good luck,

Cheers,

Welcome to the site! Is your truck a gasser or multifuel? Post pics when you get a chance. I have one also, they are great trucks!

here is my old girl , she is a gasser for sure, not a diesel, if I GET INTO IT I may consider a diesel conversion BUT NOT HAD CHANCE TO PLAY WITH HER YET SO WE WILL SEE.
