So what exactly are you looking for? Door lock, speedo cable, and a radiator? Vintage Power Wagon (VPW) should have at least the first two. For the radiator what is wrong with it? A local radiator shop would be the best start in order to see if you can salvage yours or if it's toast.

As for pictures you can only upload photos if you are a paid user of the forum. You can imbed photos from a photo-sharing site like Picasa or Flickr using the little picture icon at the top of the message window, but those only stay with the post as long as the links to the photos are good.

Click on the Subscribe button in the top bar of the forum. You have two options, you can subscribe to the magazine, which gives you premium forum benefits here (access to archives, post photos, a few private forums), or you can just pay for the forum benefits without the magazine subscription, it's a little cheaper but the magazine has content that's not here and vice-versa. Both options are available through the link.

Should be as soon as the moderator updates the system, if you don't see it in a few days I'd e-mail/message them.

That I know of no such adapter exists, you would also have the problem of figuring out how what flywheel/clutch/pressure plate assembly to use as well, tricky stuff and honestly not worth it.

For most the reason they want a diesel is so they can go faster, which is all about gearing. Putting a bigger diesel or gas engine in front of the stock gearing will do almost nothing to increase the top speed of the truck, it just let's you get to the same top speed faster and hold it easier.

Spend some time reading on here and the other site and you'll see this discussion come up often, the only way it gets easy is to pay someone like Charles Talbert big $$$ to do it for you. Not trying to talk you out of it but there is no weekend bolt-on kit for that type of conversion, I've been at mine for almost 6 years part time and am only now getting close to having something that looks like a truck again, and yet I still have no idea if it will all actually work like I want it to.
