I had a 76 3/4 ton 4x4 that was run on propane. Mileage was worse with propane, less power, and a hassle to find a place that sold propane in volume. I converted it to gas, put an Edelbrock intake, a Holley carb, and conmverted one of the propane tanks to use gas in it. The stock tanks were gone so I just put a cap on where the propane was put in so all I had to do take the cap o ff and put gas in. It ran better and had a lot more power. The advantage to propane is that it burns much cleaner than gas but it also does not have any way to lube the valve seats, long term use of propane will wear out the valve seats quicker than with gas.
