This one is obviously a swap.I`m pretty sure Chrysler experimented with a Mitsubishi diesel in some dodge ram trucks back in the mid to late 70`s. Maybe they put a few in a F body, Dunno.
I'm not so sure. I think I vaguely remember that there were a few factory diesels made using F bodies, or the factory shipped some F bodies out to have them converted. I think I read it somewhere. I wonder if it might have been Tony Diez's book on the history of F bodies. I have a copy somewhere, but I cant find it right now. If indeed this is the case, this advertised F would be one RARE bird!This one is obviously a swap.

I have to dig around for Tony Diez's F body history book. I think that might have been where I read about this diesel application. Not sure I have the authors name spelled right, and I don't think the book is in print anymore, but it was a nice fairly comprehensive history of the F body Mopars. Regardless, I think this particular F would be great fun to restore! Talk about unusual!!it does look like it could be original
