Had an '83 GMC 3500 Crew Cab with a 350 SBC that could run on propane or gasoline a few years back.
Ran and started well on propane - no problems at all, but there was an obvious difference in power compared to gas. Propane at the time was 1/2 the cost of gas so I ran on it most of the time. The major drawback I had with propane was locating a filling station once I got away from an urban center.
Don't know what it's like in your area, but in here southern Ontario most of the propane filling stations are gone - so that's something else to investigate.
If you don't have dual fuel capability - running out of propane at the side of the road can be a real hassle _ usually involves a tow truck or a cobbled up 20 lb BBQ bottle, a hose and adapter to the tank fill connection. I found that the gauges on my propane tanks weren't that accurate and running out was pretty easy.
