None of those types of rigs were ever common. I've been buying them up whenver I can find them. Ford sold a 4WD turbo-diesel Ranger - and that's real rare. Dodge sold a 1/2 ton diesel truck with a Mitsubishi 6 cylinder diesel - again - rare. Chevy sold S10 trucks and Blazers with Isuzu diesels. I have one truck, but never seen an S10 diesel Blazer in real life. Jeep had the Perkins diesel version, Checker also had a few Perkins disel rigs. I used to be able to pick up such things as oddities and cheap, but no more. Prices are going crazy on them. I've got a little Isuzu 4WD diesel pickup and was offered $6000 for it (maybe I should of sold it). Seems much of the new interest is due to people wanting to run on waste vegetable oil. I had a chance to buy a turbo-diesel Scout last year for $1000. It ran good but was rusted to death. That same rig today would probably sell for $5000 - or more - on Ebay. Best best is - get yourself a Cummins or Isuzu 3.9 turbo and build your own. I'm working on a Chevy 4WD Tracker right now - with a 1.6 Volkswagen diesel. It's a real common and easy bolt-in swap - but I'm afraid it's going to have a top speed of around 55 MPH. The ultimate rig as I see it - is a 1/2 ton truck or SUV with the Cummis 3.9. All kinds of power and close to 30 MPG on the highway. I know of many - the main catch is the price of one of those engines - they don't go cheap. Many were put into Chevy P30 potato chip and bread vans as repowers.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
