Those are good old trucks,I still run a 67 model 7000-8000 ? (the ID plates are missing on this ex military truck)twin screw with the big 478 V6. It was an old military fuel tanker that I converted to a seed tender. A 62 model 4000 will likley have a 305 or 351 V6. Good old engines,but getting very hard to find parts for them. I was able to get a rebuilt distributor for mine through napa last year. One thing you should check is the front suspension,they use a torsion bar sprung IFS system with ball joints which are incredibly expensive to replace (over $ 400 each X 4). To check them,jack up the front of the truck untill the front wheels are off the ground. Shake the bottom of the wheels in/out to check for ball joint slop. I scrapped a very restorable 6000 cab over because I did not want to invest the almost $1700 needed to put the front suspension in shape. If the joints on your truck are in good shape,keep them well greased.
