yes David , I understand , but if you buy a truck and load it , you can see the 2 prop shafts , and then still ask if it is a 4x2 or a 4x4 , that is what puzzels me .

it puzzles me why it puzzles you since it was never my question..
and frankly i couldnt care less if its a 4x2 or 4x4

I just love the way it looks and look forward to driving it, that's why i bought it...

I have a manual on the way, but would like to work on the cmp meanwhile.
Can someone please show me where the horn(claxon) Goes?
And on top of the generator are two connectors.
On which one does the positive go?
Thanks !

Hi Markwin

The horn mounts under the hood.... on the passenger side..... bolted to the outside skin upside down,,,,,, should have 2 holes in the outer sheet metal just a few centimers from the engine cover.....

The generator is another issue...... using the wqiring diagram from the manual try to trace back wires leaving the voltage regulator.... on the voltage regulator you will find 3 wires couplings...one is Batt ( battery) one is GEN the other is "F" for FIELD................... some original generators will have the letter "F" stamped on the casing near the bolts in question..... try to find these wires andf see whichone fits or if you can clean the wire read the cocor code.

I have truck like yours but opted to use an Alternator....... which is simpler and plentiful around here....... also puts out 3 x the amperage....around 75 amps and it bolts right in.

Pictures might help
