Many truck owners have their own personal preference, and will critique diesels other than their own. Any diesel engine is strong and reliable, and will run much longer than a gas engine, but routine maintenance is essential. The Cummins 5.9 Liter Engine is an extremely strong and reliable engine, with many still on the road after 200,000 miles or more. The Power Stroke 7.3 Liter, which is an option for Ford trucks, also lasts 200,000+ miles. The Duramax diesel, found in GMC's and Chevy's, is equally as strong. With routine maintenance, any diesel will run forever.

Where can you find a 1960's model ford pickup with a diesel motor in it?
Diesel engines were not a factory option until the late 70s, so if you find a 60s pickup with a diesel, it has been switched after it left the factory. Installing a diesel engine in a 60s model Ford pickup would not be the easiest conversion, but it could be done. Motor mounts would probably have to be fabricated, and you would probably have to change out the transmission, also. Best to find an engine/transmission combination that has already been proven to work together. The other consideration is finding a diesel engine with the horsepower and torque necessary for the truck.
