1993 f350 propane to pump gas

I have a chance to get a killer deal on a 1993 f350 460 with a zf5 but it runs in propane. Not a clue ad to how I'd convert it to pump gas though. Test drove it and for $500 for a 150k mile f350 that's got no issues, well that's and amazing deal. Just let me know with ideas. Thanks!

Is it not set up for dual fuel? Most are setup for dual fuel, if the gas system was removed it will be a lot of work. Or keep it running propane as there is no issue there.

Just straight propane. Could i get a fuel tank and wire up a the fuel pump to turn on with a switch and use a carb?

What's the downside to just keeping it propane?

It's a 500.00 truck, propane here is 2.38 a gallon. Gas is over 4.00. Propane conversions are very simple to work on and it's made it 150k.

$4.00 a gallon?!?! I complain when it's $2.50 over here. Unsure what propane would cost near me and how I'd get it.

Propane is very easy to find https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/propan...location=94513

It's also available here to the public at truck stops, bus fueling stations and every propane supplier. My service truck is propane and it's never been an issue.
