Re: Questions about a Gas to Diesel conversion for a '72

Boat anchor? I'd like to see you pull one of these up out of the water and put it in the boat everytime you move

I got 275,000 out of my '84 w/Banks Sidewinder when I sold it to a friend who used it as a farm truck in the mountains (hauling hay wagons...you name it) for another 10 or so years. My '92 6.5TD that I sold the '84 to get has 281k on it and runs like a top. I enjoy the hard working truck as much now (if not more) as I did almost 20 years ago when I first got it. That's 556,000 miles from two trucks over 27 years.
