    If I'm correct, Ford first used a diesel on their pick up line on
    '82, it was the 6.9liter made by International(Navistar) which
    evolved later to the 7.3liter.If a recall allright, it is a direct
    bolt-on swap, those diesel should mate any Ford transmission,
    standard or auto (for the auto, the C6 is recommended).The engine
    mounts might be slighlty different, but a visit to the local Ford

parts dealer should help you find the adequate engine-to-framemounts.

        Ford did as dodge does. For years ford installed international
        harvester engines in there trucks and vans but represented
        them as a ford product. Don’t get me wrong they were good
        engines but I never saw a turbo unit. Im not sure when ford
        came out with there powerstroke. Dodge has always used Cummins
        ether 12 or 24 valve also very strong good engines.

        Good luck Derick

        we have a Ford '72 F250 that has really low mileage on it and
        were considering a diesel conversion. how far back did Ford
        make diesels for their trucks (assuming that they do.) any
        input would be appreciated.

        Hi All,

        It looks like I´m finally going redneck and buying my first
        pickup truck. Of course, it will be a diesel. I was looking at
        used Chevy S-10´s, particularly the double cabin variety as I
        have two small kids. I´m looking for a tough, long lasting
        vehicle that I can haul building materials, worm bins, bagged
        vermicompost, and drums of waste oil and ethanol. I´d also be
        using it to get my wife and I to work and the kids to school.
        I´m not interested in something sexy, I married her. I need a
        working vehicle. Any suggestions out there. Of the vehicles I
        saw in the archives, there were things like hybrids that I
        really don´t think I need. Any Brazilian pickups that run on
        straight ethanol I would certainly consider. It´s just that
        I´m planning on generating my own electricity and heating my
        house with a diesel generator. It doesn´t really make much
        sense to me at this point to go ethanol.

        Thanks,

        Tom Irwin
