Save me from the Scrapman!

In recent discussions with Barry over a period of two hours, I was made aware of two good trucks being either scrapped or cut up for a major component. Thought it might be a good idea to start a thread where we can post details of trucks in serious need of saving. Basically, it's best if we limit the posts to trucks that will be scrapped "next week" or about to be cut up to make a trailer etc etc. We could alternatively call this thread "I need a good home now"!

Save me from the scrapman and the "Restorer"
The story started with a very original C1950 V8 210 cummins powered butterbox prime mover. A restorable truck being cut in half with the torch in WA recently to get the diff center and the remains left.
I hope restorers on the right hand side of the country behave a little better when soucing parts.

l know a bloke who cried when he seen a Bedford being cut up for the motor, GM 6v53 of coarse but l must admit it was a bit like him crying when l got the 9 inch angle grinder onto his 34 Bedford. It was lucky we save its life. l say Cut them up and repower Better Trucks.
