People deliver pizza with a regular DL all the time. The issue here is insurance and how hard it would be to climb in and out of a deuce. A bus is the way to go.
How did you get the seal sideways enough to bend it? Did you put it in and start wailing on it? I have always tapped in the seal with a suitable driver and pilot tool, if it starts to turn you can always tell if you look at it frequently and straighten it out. I've had plenty try and twist...
roalcoal, it doesn't shift down as hard into first but it's still a firm shift. I haven't noticed any differences in the temps. Mine had 10wt oil when I got it.
You should be able to get the studs from any big truck service center. I broke one on my m915 and took what was left and got a new one. Just tell them the length you need.
If you have a problem with stuck brake line fittings, you can use a crescent wrench and wriggle it on the fitting while you tighten the wrench on the fitting. I got two frozen fittings off this way that I had rounded with a flarenut wrench when replacing brake lines on my duece.

GL Videos (of vehicles anyway) always show the mileage and data plate with serial number if they are there. Plus you can usually make out the lot and sale number. You can compare all that with the description and pictures to decide if it's the right vehicle. Its a little harder on other items.
