only way to change diesel to gas on anything is to do a complete engine swap. you cannot just change the fuel, as gas and diesel engines are completely different
inside the gas tank
The best mileage for a three quater ton diesel pickup truck is 15 mph. It will only change if you going on a stopping trip and you don't use a highway on a long trip.
286 gallons in a ton
Gas engine, it is in the fuel tank. Diesel engine, it is on the side of the block.
When new they got about 20MPG I (this info is from an 84 suburban half ton 2WD, a 93 half ton 2WD ,83 blazer and an 84 half ton pickup 2WD.
100.000.000gallons of diesel = metric ton

It must be a diesel, You will find it in the side of the engine block were a freeze plug went. I think it will be on the driver side just under the head. If it is a gas engine, it does not have one. Unless someone put 1 on it, if so it will be in the same place.
It will easily haul 1 1/2 ton.
seems I'm answering my own question... turns out my 84 4x4 Jimmy with a 6.2 diesel and 700r4 trans runs the same 3.07 gear ratio as my 83 Sierra Classic 4x4 pick up with a 305 gas and 700r4 trans.
No, you can not find a half-ton, V6 diesel. There are none currently on the market, at least none that are factory made. 2014 will be the first production year a half-ton pick-up truck will be factory fitted with a V6 diesel engine. Chrysler will introduce the new Dodge Ram 1500 with a half-ton, V6 diesel engine in the third quarter of 2013.
