Good for them, I had no idea such a car existed. I bet with overdrive that thing would do 60mpg.

Of all things I hate Blunder Motors for, I give them credit for light diesels. If they hadn't started the ball rolling and made a diesel half-ton, there would be no such thing as Ford or Dodge diesels. They also never gave up and used their resources at Detroit Diesel the best they could.

The 6.2 with overdrive transmission was a game-changer. They were not the most reliable but they easily got double the fuel mileage of 350, 351 or 360's. It paid to own one back then.
