I grabbed a light out of a wrecked cop car, the switch is on the light itself and gives a choice of white or red LEDs, and it only cost a couple bucks.
The hood brace kits don't fix a problem and they can be dangerous. The kinks are in a preplanned stress point, in case of an accident the hood bends up in the center instead of tearing loose from the hinges and coming thru the windshield and taking your head off! If you squirt some oil on the...
It's been a long LONG time since I had a 6.2 in a civvie truck but IIRC you are missing a short connecting hose between the filter housing and the resonator I also think that the metal mount went to studs on the exhaust manifold. But I could be totally wrong as it was many years ago.
All this^^ but i'd like to add one small thing, if you insist on using starting fluid don't just unplug the glow plugs make sure that they have cooled down!
This or the fuse is making intermittent contact with the spring terminals that hold the fuse in place. I've had some luck in cleaning and tightening them up but replacement is the best way to go.

First off when the Gov. ordered these they specified that no matter what production year it was made in it would use 1984 parts. I doubt this is the case but GM made a change in flywheels between 84 and 85 for 6.2L, perhaps they did the same with flex plates?

I've never run those exact tires but have had many like it over the years. They do ride rougher and will devolpe flat spot in cold weather from sitting (they go away as the tire warms up) They worked great for plowing snow and driving in woods and fields where small stumps can rip open a soft...
Just a normal Chevy mount, I did have a friend change things a bit as the donor truck sat a lot lower than my CUCV and that change the vertical angle of the plow.
Good idea, also what oil viscosity is in it? I tried running a pure synthetic and a very small ream main leak turned into a smoke screen at 55+ (I lost a significant amount of oil). I went back home and swapped out that oil with regular 15-40 and went right back to a drip here and a drop there...
Most all aftermarket rust panels are about the same, check with a local body shop and see where they get AM panels I bet you'll get them cheaper and faster.
