Very nice Grigg....I have been thinking of a diesel swap also.
I'm sticking with a '54-'55 1st....maybe a 3100 panel with a 5 cylinder Mercedes turbo diesel/auto....or a 3800 pickup or dually....or an other BIGBOLT with a Cummins 5.9/NV4500...NV5600 would really be special!... hey, dreaming don't cost nothing....
Since I've sold my '04 F**d Ranger and drive an '85 MB 190d as a daily driver I am more convinced diesel is the way to go...34 mpg with 173k on the clock.
How come GM does not put a diesel in one of the small pickups ?....I no at least 4 guys that would buy one....
Anyway...keep up the good work...Jim
