Sorry about thre vagueness but there was one in the backyard of a movie props guy in Rozelle Sydney, His place is oposite the fire station, you can see it from the back alley!
Also a guy up here in Brissy about ten years ago who had one done up to the max with a 4.4 lyland, 5 speed box and an amazing bit of coach built bodywork on the back. It was an awesome truck. I have a photo buried deep in my storage but I will try to dig it up!
is this the kind of info you are looking for?
Any info is good - I think that we aready know about the one in Brissy but I'll need to do a drive over to Rozelle.

I only just saw this thread.
I have seen:
A IIA (I believe) at the 50th event organised by the LROCB at Mt Gravatt. It had a front (and possibly rear also) salisbury which had been custom-built by Mal Story (Maxi-Drive), and coils at the from. If I remember correctly it has a fibreglass camper body. May have a pic - will check.
A IIB parked at cannon hill shopping centre in Brisbane. Would have been mid-late 90's. Was in good condition, and seemed to be set up for touring.
Have spotted another 1 or two in Brisbane in addition to the above.
Do you know the name of the props guy? Quiggers or I would probably know who it is, the film industry isn't that large even after a couple of years off. Is the Rozelle FC the one with the terrible paintbrush finish? Saw that one once outside Reverse Garbage in Marrickville.Quote:

The good thing about the second photo is that it shows how the subframe was fitted.
this is it finished.

Am I seeing this right?
From the photos, it looks like that one had a narrow track Rover front axle, a la S2a FC. The lights and gearshift though say it's a 2b.
On a separate issue, is it true that you can't remove a 2b rear halfshaft with the wheel still in place, like you can with a Rover or Salisbury diff?

The vehicle is a S2B, you can tell that by the underslung rear axle. The gear shift and the lights are just confirmation. However it could be a Rover front end. I have a vehicle in my back yard with this exact problem, although I have a correct S2b ENV assembly to replace it before sale.
Regarding the rear axles. Yes the ENV diff splines are too large to slide through the hole in the stub axle. So you have to remove the stub axle to replace a halfshaft. My guess this is why they opted for the Salisbury at the end of S2a normal control production instead of continuing with the ENV which had been optional since Series 2.
If you know of anyone looking for S2a width ENV rear halfshafts I have a couple of pairs which are available.
