Case e, If you were buying the truck and the LP system them it would be hard to justify the cost, you would need around a $.50/ gal difference in Gas to LP to really get a head in the game. But since this truck all-ready has a LP system on it already then That will not really matter. I have run several trucks on LP My best one was a 82 GMC, 1/2 ton, 305 V8 auto tranny. Gas was costing about $.80/gal and my LP was $.34/gal I put that LP system on when the truck had 11K miles and was getting 18 mpg on gas, On LP was getting about 15/16 mpg on LP that 305 was a higher compression engine and the Vaporizer / Carb combo just worked! I am sure you will need a State Permit to buy LP as a motor fuel in your state!!!! On some motors LP will cause valves/seats to go bad for LP is a Dry fuel and not wet thus keeping the the valves/seats from wearing too much! Considering the 460 CID Ford engine will drink gas like a 4 year old on a grape soda water........Fast & Furious! then the LP set up will allow you to use it a little more economically. Good luck with it. Later, John A.
