Aren't we all......difference being, you stood up, during the hunt, in the tree stand and yelled "C'MERE LITTLE UNICORN!!" at the top of your voice.
Bahahaha.
Think Georg found an LX specific H55 not too long ago. I'm sure it's gone, but he's a good start to get a whiff of a scent on the trail of the rarest of big buck pink unicorns.

I dunno.....
I know a pretty persuasive old bastard that has a fail-proof method of negotiating.
He goes by Ben Franklin.
A funny lot, those Oz-ian ebayers, even when they're dealing with an Australian in Australia.
I've about given up, to be honest, but my mate in NSW who has been on this hunt for a few years, still beats the dead unicorn carcass.
Last viable lead in Oz was a scrapper who (supposedly) had 4 that were junk, but was willing to remove the top plates, box and ship to buddy in NSW, for $1,600AUD.
He must've googled and landed on Mud because the price jumped the next day to $2,400AUD each.
An untapped potential resource is Europe, having seen a lot of interesting offerings on the web, but I don't speak-a da anything but English.
That said, I am aware of one potential resource that's a little concerned about outlaying working capital on LX H55s in unknown condition.
Thinking a price point between 2.5-3k, again, unknown condition, so the top plates may be the only usable item.
That said, I understand their concerns and hesitation.....
BUT, for those that are stupid insane and wish to appease the voices with the most elegant solution for a <3,000RPM 65 mph cruising experience, without having a shifter bouncing off the Tuffy top, 2nd crammed in their knee, or additional holes to fill, that's a small price to pay for a mounted unicorn.
Especially when mounted, to the c
Know another guy (as we all do) that knows a thing or ten about H55s/BF1As that's going to be set up to narrow 60 axles, addressing the ebrake issue common with this conversion, too.
Ben's damn good at what he's known best for....
