...pretty sure it was Kent's in Sydney who started to import them as a private venture....hence the ''Amtruk'' name ???

I'm with Blueline & J.O.T.S. It's a T800..

I think you'll find that Kents at Cambletown/Ingleburn Imported a batch of them as Glider Kits.
Then converted/ assembled them & sold them as "AMTRUCK"s back in the late '90s...

But as always.. ISTBC...
