thanks guys, i am going to be grinding and welding and cleaning things up as i go. the levers are for the 9ft plow that came with it. the mount and plow are in the bed. got a hardtop, arctic grill cover, and some random parts with it. plus a ton of original manuals which i'm sure will come in handy once i start to finding out what it needs to be a happy truck. i don't know much about deuces or diesels, so this is a trial by fire for me. and yeah, i need to get a cable for it. the truck is coming home next week. it was a long process, and a long ride to go check it out. but thanks to this site i got an great deal shipping it. i just couldnt wait to post, feel like a little kid.
