Cummins 350???

I am looking for a single axle dump to haul gravel, mulch etc on my propery only, not for hire. I've found a 79 International single axle with a cummins 350 and 9spd. I've also found a 82 single axle with IH 345 in it. What would be the best way to go here?? Is the 350 reliable and resonable to maintain, I'm not familiar with this motor. I know the gas motor is fairly easy to keep up and get parts for. Some people have told me that the gas will put up with sitting for extended periods better than the diesel.
Any input on what you guys think would be appreciated. The diesel is a good drive just to look at, the gasser is just around the corner,If I do go what should I look out for??

Thanks
Steve
