Everything I've read indicates the chassis were built and purchased in bulk and sat around for years as the RV companies used up their existing stock.

My 79 Dodge Van factory service manual shows everything for a 440, as well as a 'metric' inline 6 cyl. diesel (weird!). Obviously printed before the models actually came out.
In 79 there was a 6-banger diesel available in dodge half ton trucks. A mitsubishi diesel I think. Was a $$$ option over a 318 and had less power too. Very few of them out there.
