Anyone Got a Tail Unit to Fit This One

DODGE DRIVER

New Member
Hi guys
Just obtained this from a local guy who has a 1,000lb one, this is according to the plate aMC 540lb MK 2 1



X D DATE 7-71
REF No 12B96 19151
MFR DATE PAT6\71
FILLING
FILLER & DATE BS 7-7
STD BS

EMPTY SERIAL No B7199\11
CHKL
FILLER LOT No 13


EMPTY LOT No 7

FILLED SERIAL No 105



Any help decoding the above would help.
It has two suspension points. Approx 47 inches long and 13 inches in diameter. Originally it came from Portndown, in Wiltshire. I am looking for a tail unit or drawings of one so I can have one made up, any help or info would be appreciated.
