My creative side started tugging at me again....
I got to thinking earlier today while I was out on the lake...Since I've always loved the power and torque of a diesel motor I got to thinking.... Just for the S**ts and giggles of it, would it be at all possible to swap say....either a PSD (power stroke diesel) or a cummings diesel into one of these old gals?? I know you'd have to take the elecronics out of another donor and install that also and then there's the issue of the transmission and t-case seems how mine is 4wd. I always thought that would be a wicked sight and sound to hear the whine of a PSD under the hood of an old Ford. What do you guys and gals think 
Just a thought I had....
1978 F-150 flareside. Primitive by todays standards but she was a jaw dropper back then. :-staun

I have a neighbor with a 78/79 bronco. He is really good at converting stuff. He put a cummins turbo in it. He also put 1 ton axles I think dodge 
under it. Seems like too much for a bronco. I didnt believe him when he said he would do it. But then he did it.
