I have not priced a system lately, but just google it. For a pickup look for a system using an Impco 425 carb.

All vehicle engine fuel applications run on liquid propane from the tank. A tank can only produce enough vapor for small engines, heating, etc. A carbureted application still takes liquid propane from the tank, and uses an engine mounted vaporizer that uses hot water from the engine to heat the propane and produce vapor for the engine to burn. Those systems are very simple to install, and can easily be set up to use dual-fuel where you can switch back and forth between gasoline and propane at the flip of a switch. In that case the propane carburetor mounts between the air cleaner and the factory carb, there are a number of configurations to make that work on most vehicles, and trucks have plenty of room under the hood that makes it easy.
