They used to be just wholesale to dealers. (I was a dealer back in the
1980's.) They often brought in containers of German and South African stuff.
Neat stuff like 5 speed Vanagon transmissions. When the tranny in my  87
Vanagon died in 1996 I checked on a 5 speed. About $1100 my cost then. that
seemed like too much for me then. Duh! I wish I'd bought it now. BTW, these
were Southa African 5 speeds with 4.57 R & P.
    They imported a lot of diesel stuff maybe 5 years ago, but it seems to
have all dried up.
     About all they show now is th 2.6 5 cylinder kit. $6450 with the CARB
listed exhaust. $1500 less without it. Vey nice setup, I'm sure. Perhaps
they now sell direct. http://overlandparts.com/5%20cylinder%20kit.htm
     I imaginge most any list vendor could sell their stuff. Heck, I could
probably reinstate my account and get the stuff, if you happen to be in the
midwest.
