propane power

I've heard of "Factory Propane," but there's some debate locally as to whether or not trucks actually came propane equipped from the factory.
Does anyone here know for sure?

The F150/250/350 series trucks did not come with factory propane that I am aware of. Perhaps there was an obscure fleet option but for the masses, I've never seen one.

The larger F & B series trucks did come with a LPG option.

I've seen trucks and cars from Canada with propane installed. Whether it was factory or not, I have no idea. I know right where one is, an 80's crown Vic with propane on its sbf. I live in northern Montana BTW.

They used the 7.0L engine in the 1993-1996 F & B trucks with the Duraspark II ignition system. They also used a pick-up coil inside the distributor and not a PIP sensor.

I drive a bus, it's a 2015 F550 V10 with LPG conversion. 4mpg, and not totally impressed with the power. It's not terrible, but not great, either. Rumor was the conversion cost $10k

FWIW, the bus body is Glaval, and we've had terrible luck with the A/C on the bus body.
