Well, now that we have Dodge’s first diesel pickup and an ’87 Ford IDI, maybe we should start looking for some early Chevy with 6.2L power…
Then, we’d have a ¾-ton from each manufacturer in our collection. Heck, we could even start a classic diesel museum! I’m sure they would love that in the Peterson building’s parking lot.
Personally, I’d like a K20 with the SM465 four-speed manual… Ironically, Fred Williams from 4 Wheel and Offroad has one, in our lot. I wonder if he would give it to us? Although, it doesn’t have any visible rust, which seems to be a theme we’re going with so far on our IDI and, of course, with “Project Rust Bucket.”
So, the search officially begins… I’m sure we can find another dirt-cheap diesel that someone would love to have hauled off of their property. We’ll see.
