I spent 8 years in the Army working on these trucks, and currently own 4... You can get most any part for them, but they can be pricey. Which truck you want depend on your needs, these are what the military calls "tactical trucks". They are rated based on what they will carry over very rough terrain and were designed to operate on very poor roads or no roads at all. They are famously underpowered for highway use, but go off-road and into low range in the transfer case and they are different animals. The "deuce and a half" is rated at 5,000 lbs off-road, 10,000 lbs on road, and will not tolerate much more without damage while the 5 ton will carry all you can put on it. The multi-fuel engine was manufactured by White, or Hercules or one of their successors. Please note that as the military phased out gasoline equipment, most of these engines lost their multifuel capabilities and should not be run on gasoline. Sorry for being long winded, if I can help you send me an e-mail.
