Get every manual you can for it. either digital, printed, or original. I like to get original, but use them only for looking at when clean(they are 70 years old, no more original are being printed).

I mainly use digital and print out the pages I need, or you can buy and use a reprint.

You did not list your location, but in the US, put Midwest Military, and Vintage Power Wagons on speed dial...

will correct that , my location is belgium - europe , not far from leuven.
but i will put both on speed dial

do have every manual for the 63 and some are useable for the 64 to.
the rest i will have to buy extra.

i do have the adress to get them digital and paper.
problem will be the funds.

and i do want to do it right , the 64 must be factory state .....
it will be my first so the learning curve is top

corrected and profile updated

the dodge being a 64 KD was a surprise , but it will be restored to original...
hope to get lots of info here, the inside of the 64KD is still a mystery to me.

Nice! You may be able to find some parts at the Ciney Militaria Expo (Belgium).

I was there in 2013 and did see a few vehicle parts vendors.

You are a very lucky........man. KD64 is the o0ne to have. Basically a lengthened weapons carrier with a knock down back to save shipping room.

first action will be to get the papers ok, need to find the originzl chassis number and a previous plate for it.

but yes i do like the 64 , he is top and a lot of work.

any tips on a 64KD top that is missing it's 64KD ambulance?

would be a lot easier than making a new one
