K10 k1500 help and advise

[adricar1]

i have just picked up my 1971 k 1500, from the docks today in the uk. but it looks like i have a few things to sort out before i can get it on the road.
if someone could advise me on what s the best way to sort or tackle these items it would be most helpful

1) the transmission boc NP205 date stamp 1970 has got stuck in high gear and i can not get it out of high. when drving it it makes a banging noise? how do i get it the lever to go to neutral etc and what could be causing the banging? if i need some parts wheres the best place to order them from?

2) the heater core has been piped out very badly though.can you get to the heater from within the cab?

3) the wiper mechanism only works on the passenger side the arm in the scuttle has come unattached on the driver's side. how do you get this out?

4)how do you get the wiper arms off , they seem stck on the spline? on the uk cars there is a cover which lifts up and a nut underneath.

5) the rear axle is not a dana 44 , and has 12 bolts on a cover which is not round any idea what the axle could be. i need to order a new gasket.

6) the front hubs have a hand turn on them on the centre but there is a resistance to turning , how should they operate, should these be easy or stiff?

7) the headlights are 4 round head lights what do the centre two do? i can not get these to light?

Many thanks
