Do you guys ever see any diesel Rangers around?

I come across these things for sale in Canada every now and then. Just wondering if anybody ever sees them around anywhere? I knew two different guys that had these back in the 80's, and while they were slow as a snail, they did get pretty good mpg. The ad below is in Quebec...so it's in French, but there's no info there other than it's an '83 diesel.

Can't say I've seen one in person, but I'd love to throw a mild build diesel in my newer Ranger if it ever loses daily driver duty.

I believe this to be a tachometer for the Diesel Ranger.
