As far as the sheetmetal goes, everything is the same except for the front fenders and running boards. The door, grill and hood and all of the cab related parts are the same from 1/2 ton to 2-1/2 ton trucks. Also, the site that 68panelman was refering to is "stovebolt.com". There is a ton of great info there as well as a vin decoder but sounds like you have that taken care of already.

Thanks! I know the upright lever through the floor is the park brake, but the lever I was wondering about is actually mounted to the shifter lever on the right side. That's the one that kind of threw me for a loop. I didn't take any real good pictures of it (they are all off my IPhone) but in the 7th picture of my original posting you can vaguely see it on the shifter. It kind of looks white in the pic. 68panelman said reverse lockout, so until I get it home to look further I'll take his word for it haha. I never thought about the military speedo. Hopefully I will be able to find more out once it's here. I joined stovebolt.com and have been checking it out....you're right. Tons of great info there!
