In my opinion, it's great you are excited and love the truck. They are really neat. But you are all over the place on finding parts, upgrades, rebuilding. Don't take the truck apart. Leave all alone. Get the motor running so you can see if trans, clutch, brakes, differential, radiator, suspension, steering all works. Then fix one at a time. You may be building a basket case.

There are over a half a dozen interpretations of "doesn't run".

If you are really rich, disregard my comments.

Too late......

Its getting rebuilt

Found a website that sells almost everything except the cam, and the pistons.(rpmrons)

I'm gonna be excited when I pull up in an old rusty truck and pop the hood:-)
