Nice truck, hopefully someone from Europe will see this and help you out, or possibly an Arabic country. I have no other ideas except Russia her self where to find parts.
Man that sucks! Sorry to hear about that, I think you're an overly qualified welder yourself if I remember right, but we got some one in the local club who could probably weld that up for you if you need it done, email me if you need his contact info.
I agree with Porkysplace, it's in the eye of the beholder.........for me personally I'd want a nicely detailed truck painted solid 383 or desert sand CARC (or Lowes/Home Depot look a like) with NO markings. That way I can leave as is, or camo it myself, and add the markings I want. But if you...

Theres not a whole lot of "maintenance" to a turbo, as long as it ain't cracked, or leaking oil you're not going to notice it at all except your truck WON'T blow black smoke like an old steam locomotive, that's the whole purpose of the turbo - cleaner emmisions - If the truck with the winch is...
I always thought that was a cool looking truck one of the very few vehicles the French designed that.......well,...that...didn't look French, it was actually cool looking. I think I saw pictures of the cargo version used as gun trucks, I'm guessing by the French Foreign Legion.
