Yes, I actually do have two trucks.
The one I am driving is a '95 with the 2.2L 4-cylinder gasoline engine and 5-speed transmission.

The other one is a parts trucks - the exact same configuration, (even the same color!) except that it is a '94. That truck is becoming the "Mer-Chevy".

Both trucks can be experimented on as much as I want, as long as I still have something to drive long distances for my work.

Any (useful working) eco-modifications to this truck will simply be transfered to the other one when I get that engine swap completed. Block heating will be even more important with a diesel engine, but for now, I am just trying to get a little more out of my gas engine.
