Thinking about a CUCV

[mvfd70]

I don't normally spend much time in this part of the board, but I'm thinking of purchasing a CUCV pick-up for a daily driver. Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with these? They look pretty stout but I'm kind of unfamiliar with the diesel engines from back then. How are they on pulling power and drivability? I'm guessing that these were non turbo charged engines. How difficult would it be to put turbo on one? Or is that even doable? Where is the best source to purchase one of these? I've seen some on a government liquidation web site and was wondering if that would be the best place or not. Are they usually in pretty decent shape from these type of sites? Sorry for all the questions. I just don't want to jump into buying something and then get stuck with a 6000# paper weight.
