Back in the late 70s and early 80s Deutz offered a kit that would allow you to retrofit just about any pick up truck. One local farmer here converted a late seventies F-250 over to Deutz power. I do remember hearing the farmer and his hired man complaing several times that they wished they had never even started this project. It seems that nothig really fit the way Deutz said it would, and the farmer ended up fabricating or modifying quite a few parts in order to make it fit. He even had to torch away a portion of the front frame crossmember because it interfered with the oil pan. They did finally get it up and running. I saw the truck several times for a few weeks, and then it just disappeared. Rumors were that the truck mysteriously caught fire one day while being used on the extreme far side of the farm.
