I'll toss in my 2 cents. Most Diesels that old that are for sale have had several owners and either some kid rodded the heck out of it or it's been worked real hard. Most likely the truck itself is going to be in sad shape. Lot of the gassers were never pulled hard or left the black top. Plus with the extra you pay for the diesel, plus the extra cost of fuel I doubt it will pencil out. One of the mid 90's Ford or GM's with a big block (460 or 454) would be cheaper to buy and may (may being a key work here) cheaper to buy and maintain.

The older Dodge's with the Cummins are expensive to buy and everyone I know with the older ones have problems with the tranny back (and front if 4X4) the suspension and wiring (look it up). Other words great engine NOT MADE BY CHRUSLER it a very poor shipping container.
