The chances of a gasser D250 having the 4K front end components is pretty slim. It will most likely be the 3300lb front end in that thing. It will be eight bolt, so that is at least better then a 5 bolt D150 set-up.
The biggest difference in the 2wd front end s is just the size and beef of the components...heavier upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rods, springs, front spindle, bearings and rotors etc. How long will a gas D250 front end hold up under a cummins...who knows? A few years I would suspect.
Other then that you could yard the motor and tranny out of the gasser unit and drop in a cummins and tranny....very little needs to be changed.
