Hi all.

So, I'm in the process of registering my first gen here in the UK.

It's an '83 D150 with the 225 slant six, 4 speed manual.

Firstly, does anyone know where I would locate the engine number? I need this for my registration certificate. I'm probably looking right at it but just wanna make sure. Image of the motor below.

Secondly, I've noticed that once warm it'll refuse to engage reverse gear. It'll grind and grind but have none if it. I can turn off the truck, put it into gear, start it again and we're good. Would it be anything to do with clutch adjustment? Do first gen even have a way to adjust the clutch?

Lastly my winsheild wipers and washers do not work, could this be fuse issues? I can always pickup a pump and motor from rockauto but I'd like to investigate before I spend on new parts.

Thanks guys :)
