Would like to get one!

Cheers.

Hi Patrick, if you have no luck Road Transport Images do many resin  hgv parts including that particular cab. Buying the whole set of parts from them is not so cheap but I have bought just the parts I needed and used them on a s/hand diecast chassis.

They are good to deal with. Also have an on line catalogue. A satisfied customer!

Don’t have one of those but I think I might have a spare CIE scamell Scarab in the stash

Not sure if these may work as substitutes?

Not identical, I'm sorry, but might be nice either way.

My recommendation is this also

Can be got east enough for under €10

I have one that I don't wish to part with. I don't remember where I picked it us, suspect it was from Brian Collins at a show. I presume you have put it on you wish list at Hattons, you just never know.  The train Fair in Bray might also be worth a visit.

This one is on my wish list; https://www.hattons.co.uk/117492/base_toys_ie02_leyland_comet_artic_flatbed_c_i_e_circa_1964_1985_/stockdetail

Could you tease him a little more please, @Ironroad? Maybe share a photo of a small segment of the truck every day?

Got one of those at BlackRock last month for €8. Shows they can still be got for a good price.
