I need to make sure I don't go anywhere near that one when I've had a few beers, if you take off the tipper bed it would be a perfect starting point for a very cool campervan.

I’ve seen a few Cummins conversations at shows in years gone by (primarily at ‘Billing’)
The 5.9, as used in the late 90s Ram pickups was one of them
Likewise, a few of the bigger Perkins, 6.354(?), some were in combines, so not great in a road vehicle

Why no good in a truck?

From memory, it depended on the variant
Some had limited RPM, due to injector pumps (& maybe cam timing) thus reduced speed for use on the road
(a steady (2,000RPM?) might be okay in a commercial/agricultural situation)
The 6.354 was used in a few Range Rover conversions, but even that tough 4-speed ‘box, that was shared with the 101FC has its limitations

Agreed, for the price
The 3.0 diesel is fine in its original location (the BuM-W 3. or 5, series) but is a bit underpowered for the L322
The TDV8's are far better

I think this is very much a case if you have to ask for the price you 100% cannot afford it sir
