I think the front driveshaft is on the opposite side on GMT400s. Might have to swap transfer case. Also the 6.5 in ‘95 is electronic engine management, you will have to loose that.
Sounds like you are way short on engine power. Mine goes 60+ with ease. The axles have 5:38 ratio, there is no ratio that would make it slower only faster.
Old 2 cycle Detroit Diesels had that feature. Never heard of a 4 cycle Diesel engines having it. These multifuel runaways typically happen when the fuel control lever in the injection pump is gummed up from sitting for years. If you drive your truck periodically you should be fine.
Sure, that is an OA-331 "Gold Comet" gasoline engine used in M35 series trucks in the 1950s. 331 cubic inches, overhead valve. Made by Reo Motors and Continental Motors

Engine in vid sounds great. Mine is a bit clattery sounding also. On the vacuum circuit, the only vacuum use during normal (no wipers) operation should be the crankcase ventilation valve. Engine vacuum is also routed to the fuel/vacuum pump, then the wipers. It’s possible the vacuum pump...
I use the SW Kem-lustral wrought iron flat black and it is perfect in every way. I source this from my local store. It might be possible to source these paints from your local store as well. I know the FS numbers are in their system.

Ugh something failed big time. Maybe you can find out what blew out yourself. Look for oily spots in the area you described. If something like an evaporator coil blew, you will need to find that part and either replace it yourself or supply it to the shop. They won’t have access to military...
