" I should take the time to down load the TM's "
Yes should load all of them.
I even have original paper copies of them to take where the work is.
Congratulations on your getting it to run.

Download the TM's from the download section here if not already done so.
The headlight switch controls the turn signals and other lights.
However you stated no warning or buzzer so I would check the Master switch
And wires behind it.
Have seen where the switch would power some things but not all...
I would add a cooling system conditioner also.
Drain the radiator and fill with 3 1/2 gal. quality straight antifreeze.
I always try for -40 protection.

Sounds like it needs to come apart.
Your compression readings are low.
Hard to say about a knock we can't hear.
Most likely a broken piston skirt or wrist pin
Walking out.
I'm not going to say it's a common problem
But have seen it on more than one engine.

You need to start reading the CUCV Helpful threads here

Will help you understand your truck better.
And Welcome
Tom
If your refereeing to the hydro-boost unit the difference is in the plumbing connections.
One has American threads (early 73-78?)
The rest (later 79-on) has metric threads.

Try working the light switch levers back and forth several times to clean the contacts.
I have had good luck with that in the past on trucks that sat a long time.
Good Luck and enjoy your truck.

Hey Rusty
They all have Dana 70HD rears and 205 T-case.
The black 77 was bought new. First year for the K30
The blue 84 was bought new.
The OD 86 was converted in 91 at/by TEAD and has all the exact components
As the two factory models with the exception of they added rear sway bar.
No K30...
Not sure about that information, but I have a stock 86 M1028A2 converted in 91 at TEAD and the rear fenders are
Exactly the same as my 77 K30,79 K30,and 84 K30.
I have seen some M1028A2's with aftermarket rear fenders installed.
Not sure who done those or where they came from.
I do agree...
Glad you got it running.
FYI
You obviously are running a electric fuel pump.
Remember you can only supply 4-5 lbs. (6.5-7 Max) pressure to the Carb. or
It will overwhelm the needle and seat and flood.
The system was designed to run on 4-5 PSI.
Not sure what pump you are using.
