No apology necessary, as the 350 has a larger following than the 250. Plus, it is easier to shoehorn the 350 into many different applications.

I still like the idea of a diesel courier with a 2 speed powerglide and 2 speed rearend!

a little history question? Was there a Mazda version of this? I do know of some select Rangers with Perkins diesels under the hood. I was in a debate with someone local that has yet to convince me there was a courier with a Mitsubishi diesel power-plant, the only little truck I know with that engine was a Chevy love?

I think we should make it a 4x4 to divide the torque

Does it really matter, with the torque of a 7.3 it can rock crawl or be an all out off-roader
