Hi David the engine had alot of money spent on the bottom end by a previous owner. When I got the truck we had to strip it again as the rest of it had been put together gus to get it running many bolts missing and we strip all the timming gears and replace, new all gaskets alround plus other bits. The deflectors are ok, thanks for the offer of the templates. This truck was bought from the military and used a tow truck by small garage spending most of its life in a open lean to till it was bought in1980. I have a photo of it in poor condition stood in the lean to, the photo is very dark and old if I can improve it I will try to post it .With the rain still coming down and making space I have tied to take few photos, the truck as been sprayed with wax oil all over knowing it would have to stand along time with out work. Cheers Dick
