Why, oh why don't they sell that here?? Who could resist that?
No kidding, wouldn't that be cool? There have always been ROW diesel Cruisers. Why don't we get them?

A number of outfits sell conversion kits to put the Cummins 4BT or 6BT into 80 series Cruisers. Sounds like a great idea, but it sure looks like a lot of work. Just about doubles the fuel mileage, though.
