I bought it about a year ago and have the original owner's manual and that's about it. Recently I saw a book that claimed to be an assembly manual. I wanted it but I didn't want to throw $40 at it if it wasn't going to be useful.

You will need, at least, the X-6223 and X-6323 manuals. Those are the 1962 manual and the 1963 supplement.
The "assembly manual" (if it is the one I am thinking of) won't be any help.
You will also want to look around for the 4wd manual. Others in the group will probably know more along those lines.
If the first 3 characters in your VIN are:
K10 then it is a 4x4 1/2 ton 5000 GVW
K15 then it is a 4x4 3/4 ton 7500 GVW
K25 then it is a 4x4 1-ton, 10,000 GVW
If it doesn't start with any of those... then it may not have started life out in its current configuration.
