I have not seen one done.
Yes, it should be just about the same as the V8 gas conversions.

While many people have good luck with the 6.2 and 6.5 diesels, I hear a lot of people who have problems, or just are not impressed.
If you do this conversion I would recommend you use the latest turbocharged 6.5, they are stronger and much improved over the earlier ones.

Why do you want to do this conversion?
What do you want to do with the truck?
Have you considered more powerful engines, like the Duramax, or a 7.3 ford / IH?
Or even a Detroit?
