old diesel engines

Just for curiousity sake...

I have a 65 f20 and the original owners manual has a section on Diesel engine.

now, as hard as I research I cant actually find an f250 with a diesel engine, or parts or info on one....

1n 1965 9and thereabouts) wats the scoop on the diesel option?
did they or didnt the and if the did where are they now?

No diesel in pickups before 1983 F250 / F350.

Then why does my original owners manual have a section on the 4 cyl 220 diesel, and the book says it covers f100 to f350?

was it even an option in 65?

I asked this same question many years ago, I believe it was on this site when it was a mailing list....

I think the answer was that some 4-cylinder was available in the P-series parcel trucks.
