Just get a nice 300SDL, or a 350SDL with a new factory engine. It
is probably more satisfactory overall, and probably cheaper, at least
in the long run.
Now, I wonder about putting an OM603 in a 46-68 one ton truck, and
set it up as a highway machine. Slightly lowered etc. Modern 6
speed manual truck trans...

That reminds me of a thought I had recently. When reading a Trading
Post (those weekly papers with all kinds of stuff for sale) I
spotted a 95 BMW 740 something. No eng or Trany - great body,
wheels, tires for $250.
I thought, "Hmmm.... the 240D engine would be nice in that!!"
Then I thought, maybe that's a bit over the top.
Assuming the body is as good as they say, would this work or would I
be better off putting a Ford V8 & trans from a recent junk yard
find, or am I dreaming there too? Then I starte thining about the
non-drivetrain problems with 7 Series Bimmers - their fancy
suspension, controls, electronics, etc might make it a bear to
maintain.
But it was a nice dream. Like the W140, I like the older 7 series.
Big, powerful, luxurious, comfortable and capable of covering lots
of miles with ease.

Ja, Kaleb should put that on up on his list of famous quotes.

"You want to put a diesel in everything."
I've put that up on my desk notice board.
Still giggling.
