the truck has 2 auxiliary tanks, 1 on each side located in the front cabinets of the bed. i bought the truck from the second owner and he believed that this is the factory engine. the clock shows 79,000 miles which could be real. all the missing air parts are in the bed cabinets and that makes me think something was perhaps done to the engine.

I suppose that it is also possible that the dealer pulled the original engine, made some changes to it at the customers request and reinstalled the engine after a paint job. I'm just not sure what the "Engine Conversion" would entail.

i will definitely check the vin and date codes on the engine, as well as the box of receipts. i thought that 'engine conversion' might mean that a car motor was installed from the factory. it was built in california according to the build sheet.
don't know much else yet but i sure love a mystery.
