Welcome to the site and the hobby. Some pictures would be great as mentioned.

Tidy truck with enjoyment potential. Well done.

Sounds interesting, and not an impossible task. It went in, so, it should come out. A worthy assignment indeed, I have very often 'surprised' myself with some of the projects I have undertaken, and succeeded in. It is just the "getting started" and motivation. Go to it, and post the progress...

Golly! (as 'they' say). That is one huge truck for a first one. As said already, read up thoroughly, Much damage can be done in a trice with incorrect operation. Have to say I do like my M62, so useful, so nice to drive, it simply just does have that "special" feel ..and presence.

Nice conversion, looks great.And seems capable of negotiating some serious 'territory'.

Nice acquisition, as said, Make sure the brakes work PROPERLY before staring the journey home. Is all OK, steady run home 1750 2000 rpms will do it. Take it easy, have patience, AND..success. Post up the journey event,with pictures of the truck when yo are able. good luck.

Post up the dimensions of all the seals you require. (and let's go at it from another angle).

These posts have prompted me (today) to fit ALL the multi fuels in our group with CO2 extinguishers, And make sure ALL the air intakes are loose enough to remove promptly. (they are also now linked to the engine covers by small chains.).

Hmmm, I like watching storms..Going the OTHER way. (the storms that is!).

Wow they are as far apart as peas and pies!, But the pinzguars are a very trusty and able vehicle in all environments.

That is what I used an my old deuce. For parking only. It works onto the foot brake linkage. On my other deuce with tow palm couplings modification, an air operated cylinder applies the brakes on the same linkage when the tow vehicles brakes are applied.

I am curious to hear the response from others, But the vehicle should not jump backwards? and forwards? when braking hard in motion. Unless the body is loose!. And if you are stationary with the brakes applied, No the vehicle should not move in the least, Ether way. Unless you are talking about...

You just can not beat GOOD batteries. Congratulations on your acquisition, and now is the time ( as your pulse returns to normal!) to post up some pictures of the truck.

As mentioned you should be able to select gears "clutchless". However if you are not conversant with this procedure, remove the top cover and examine for damage or strained parts under there. Also check the engagement movement at that time.

Wow..And now your truck is "frozen in time".

The expanding sealant and insulation foam is good stuff too. It would seal in any of those contaminated ducts easily.

I had one of those on my mutt when it came after purchase abroad. Never did or could find the whip for it.

I would TRY HEAT lots of all over heat and much soaking with "free off stuff", before I quit on that engine. Give it a try, (general all over heat by fire? bonfire, forge?) After a LONG soak of the stuff, Can you IMMERSE it (the head) Totally?, Then the Heat and a calibrated steady, level, in...

As mentioned. With the number one piston on top dead center, ON the COMPRESSION stroke, the rotor arm should point to that cylinders spark lead in the distributor. The make sure the plug leads are wired to the correct plugs In the CORRECT ROTATION, ( I.E. does the rotor arm turn anti clockwise...

That is a completely original truck. Keep it as is, and enjoy.
