Well the search for a suitable Mercedes 240D continues but I am beginning to have reservations. I have discovered that in 1983 and 1984, Ford put a 2.2L diesel engine in the Ranger pickups. The engine is reported to be tough, made by Mazda under a license agreement from Perkins. My research indicates they are not all that plentiful, but seem to be reasonably priced. There are some obvious advantages that a "grease" pickup would have over a "grease" car, so while I am still watching for a suitable 240D, I am also keeping an eye out for a suitable Ford Ranger.
