By way of comparison, I thought you might like to see photos of another propane installation. This '63 GMC was owned by the regional natural gas company, and had been converted to propane when it was new. So it never ran on gasoline.
That is neat! And they kept it as simple as possible. Looks like they removed the WW carb and installed a carb for gaseous fuels on there. Interesting to see the converter and fuel switch on the other side. As you said, only natural gas. Did they keep the fuel tank in? And the fuel pump was removed? Cannot see that in the pictures.

The installation looks clean, and that is my goal also. I have the big oil bath air cleaner from the 478, when I get the 478 in I'll see if I can 'gut' the air cleaner and 'hide' the air filter and mixer in there. Should look a lot nicer.
