I need a cylinder head, mine is cracked beyond repair. I do not know if I`m in the correct section or not, if not my apologies.

If its diesel its cool but the type of engine helps. Around the world they had at least 3 diesels in their pick ups in 81 .
Yours is probably a 1L , 1.8 litre
 
Thanks again Roscoe, I figured out that it`s a 2.2 diesel called the 1L. I found a head and gasket and I will be putting her back together over the weekend. Do I have to re-time the inj. pump. How should I set cam timing?

It should have marks etched on the timing gear . Usually the pulleys or gears will only fit one way onto a camshaft, pump shaft and crankshaft.
They are each aligned with a point etched onto the engine block
Its easy if you have a manual.
Major disasters can happen if you dont.

The 1HZ has 2 lots of marks. One set is for putting the belt on,then you rotate it and the other set of marks should align if you have done the 1st step right.
