Is this firm still operating? If so, new cabs must be available. Dunno how you would go about ordering/paying for/transporting them. Might have to engage the services of a professional international haulier.

It looks they still build trucks and buses. SNVI (ex-Sonacom) is a state-owned Algerian vehicle manufacturer. They use Berliet/Renault licences for some of their products. Their main heavy truck includes a Renault KB 2400 cab and a 410 bhp ■■■■■■■ engine.

Plenty of parts to donate to restorers- interior trim, for example. Anyone who has seen that Le Centaure copy, then been disappointed with its later interior, would want those parts to be hoarded.
One of the most famous Berliet: the ’ 5 cylinders ’ GLR which has celebrated its 70 years last october. I published a book about its history .

Interesting! I didn’t know frigidaire was a brand of General Motors!
Love that steering wheel Michel, nearly vertical and as big as the windscreen, necessary for armstrong steering in those far off days.
A friend of mine drove a Faun tank transporter in the army in Germany and he said the only way he could get it round corners was to keep blipping the accelerator to lift the weight off the front, I have done a bit of that myself in the old days too, though I had the opposite problem with an Albion built on a coach chassis, thus a long overhang at the back. Loading 2 places for 2 drops, the first drop was loaded first on the overhang, the front wheels floated for most of the time and I had to keep stamping the brakes and turn the wheel a bit at a time to get round. 
Tramagal was the Portuguese branch of Berliet, and they also produced civil trucks.
