Propane-Powered Checker Cab on eBay!

The Checker has always been one of my favorite workhorses, and here’s one you can run all year long without breaking the bank. Propane power is already extensively used in fleet vehicles in Canada and elsewhere—there’s been interest in this propane-fueled Checker from as far away as Germany—but it hasn’t caught on as well in the US, though propane-conversion services are plentiful. Propane, a byproduct of fuel refining, is cheaper per gallon than gas and produces fewer emissions; and you fill up your tanks at the local hardware or farm store instead of at the pump. Some nice solid brush-guards front and rear might help prevent a fireball in the event of a collision, though I’m sure any propane devotee would tell me that such fears are unfounded.
