Strictly a diesel mech or both gas and diesel?

I wish i had the skills to do it on a daily basis like you guys man, i tell ya. it seems like any thing i do takes forever to get accomplished, and by then, the customer is so pissed and tired of waiting, it isn't worth it. My dad and I used to do custom bodywork and painting. We take to long to make any money at it, so we only do it in our spare time, with mainly our vehicles or people close to us.

edit:

Same plans as far as my 1 ton goes. Get the 6bt in and running, and use the truck around town until i finish building, or finding one at a steal of a price, then throwing the cab on the longer frame. What's the wheelbase of the longhorn anyway?
