@WestOzBJ40 It's an OME 3 inch lift and currently I am running 31x10.5x15. I am planning on going to 33x12.5x15 soon.
I'm on my second set of 31/1050s...it's a great size for a stockish 60/62. 33s would work, but might be asking for some gears if you are going to be doing many grades. Does your rig have the auto still? I know my 4 speed 62 has some git-up that would not be so pronounced with bigger meats...

Was there evidence of what caused the zero compression?

That seems legit, especially if the truck had set a while before you bought it and the valves were in need of adjustment.

Its going in today for sure! @cwwfj60 & @LAMBCRUSHER
I'll throw this out there...if you are prefitting hose clamps and stuff outside the engine bay, make they are oriented in a direction that can be accessed later on when all that s*** on the 3FE is stuff inside....especially anything on the front side.
I'll be watching to see how it feels driving after the rebuild. Does anyone make an aftermarket cam for more low end torque for these things? That's really my only complaint...well, that and the fact that when I'm cruising at speed and hit any kind of incline. It can't keep its speed.
