Try google or a Mexican. At one time propane or natural gas was cheaper than gasoline in Mexico so they converted a lot of pickups to run on it.

Contact your local propane supply house and they should be able to direct you to a shop that can do the work. Expect to pay about $2,500 installed. Fuel economy will be less than gasoline, but higher than ethonal, ie E-85. Biggest gain is engine runs cleaner, engine oil stays cleaner much longer, and depending on where you live you might be eligible for a rebate from the goverment. or a tax break. If the engine has cast pistons instead of forged expect to burn holes in the pistons in about 30- 40,000 miles assuming the engine is in very good condition.
