Any help appreciated.

The only moves I make in a 'frantic' manner are one's I make when I spill hot coffee in my lap! LOL

OK Tony the chassis configuration depends on 3 things. The first is are you going to make it into a portee as original or just as a GS truck? The second is how faithfully Original do you want it to be, down to the last nut and bolt or as long as it looks good to the majority of people including the most important, yourself!? The third is if you want a GS truck do you want it with or without a winch? If not and to satisfy #2 a bit then I suggest you remove the crossmembers and rollers for the winch and configure the chassis as in the lube chart I posted earlier. If you want a GS truck with winch then a few things need to be repositioned and of course an original winch found and fitted.

Attached is a F60S (with Winch) lube chart so you can see the differences. The flat plate with the rollers forward of the diff needs to be at the rear of the chassis and the other roller needs to be turned up the other way plus other winch crossmembers fitted as well. lots of work A!
