Thats hilarious!
So a 1/2 ton short bed isn't a truck?
I pulled the wife's '66 short bed behind my 1/2 ton lowered CCSB with both beds fully loaded from Oklahoma to Alaska (over 4000 miles through mountains) with no problem. I certainly wouldn't do that with a caprice.

I believe diesel is higher everywhere. If you do the math, these diesel's still have a cost advantage.
My 1991 one ton, 4x4, CCLB gets close to 20mpg, compare that to a gas engine (BBC or SBC) in the same truck it would be closer to 10mpg. So even if fuel cost is 30% higher consumption is 50% lower. The math still works in lighter vehicles also. Less weight=more mpg.
My diesel Burb does great, it just sips the fuel. Over 20mpg.
