Default B737 Gravel Kit

I am looking for one or two Gravel Kits for 737-200.
I have been told there might be some in Africa, but i do not have any connections.
If you know of one or have an idea where i might locate one please let me know.

Thanks

No, they will not sell it. They donated a 737 with the kit to a museum, but put in a contract that the kit cannot be removed from the A/C.
When they sold some of their Combis; in the contract they specified that the new owner cannot sell the A/C back to anyone in North America.

Twin Wasp,

I have tried all the "usual" sources in North America. I asked around in Europe, but I haven' been able to find any. (I don't think anyone operates a 737-200 with gravel kit in Europe at this time)

Is that including Greenland? I don't think the flag carrier operates any 732s, but I would bet there are a bunch of little airlines up there.

I know this is fairly old, but Conoco Phillips operates a fleet of 37s in Alaska with the gravel kit.
