Hi David

Your a lucky man to have such vehicle willed to you but they may come with a curse...... collecting these old trcuk can become an obsession.

Parts are available....BUT..... getting them to Texas will be very expensive. As you said..... not to many of them down South.

Repro manuals are available from Alex Blair which is a fixture on MLU........ I believe that you will find them invaluable.

Don't know your bank roll but you might want to consider estimating the direct and indirect costs of getting all the parts down to Texas before you move them to your place.

Even more parts are available outside of North America such as Dirk in Holland who still has NOS parts.

If you have questions fire them up on the forum to see if we can help you out.
