Preferably with less than 500k miles and at least one good seat. Doesn't matter which side. A motor would be nice and I prefer it to have at least one forward fear working.
Dang these new trucks is HIGH! I don't see how anybody who doesn't work for the government affords em. To heck with it. I'm gonna make retro-redneck chic again.

I was looking at a late 80's early 90's truck before I bought mine. Heck I could buy a new motor and trans every year cheaper than making payments.
I had to back up a few years. Here what I'm running into. Found a good looking 2011 4 door z71 LT with a few extras and 68k miles. It was black, which is my least favorite color and the guy wanted 24.5 OBO for it. Because it was black, I offered the guy 21 for it. He actually laughed at me and said that just because it had a rebuilt title doesn't mean he was giving it away. ??? So a rebuilt 4 year old truck with 70k miles in a crappy color is 24k??? I obviously am out of touch with the used truck market.

They are all high! Even the older trucks! I have seen a few 80s model chevys bein sold for 8000 or better just because its a " classic "...
Get you a 96 f150 with a 302 in it for about 3000. One of the last best looking trucks out there sets level and that's one fine motor. Ain't no way Iam going to drop a dime over 20k for a truck to take me to work and to the woods and to the lake. Same goes for those mortgages they put on the boats these days and 4 wheelers and side by sides.
Those used truck prices have followed the new truck prices right up the ladder. It's insane that anyone would pay 20 plus for one of them. I'm like Hotrod. Guys got 2 house notes in a truck and boat, just can't figure out how they do it. Guess they pay one this month and the next one the next month.
You should of asked him if all the numbers match?Quote:

One thing is for sure people are buying them everyday.
Cash for clunkers hasn't helped your search for a reasonably priced clunker.

Suspicious Activity Detecte
That last one for. $795 looks pretty good about now. Plus it has 2 rod holders already installed in the one side I could see.

you'll just forget to put oil in the motor and blow the thing up
1975 4x4 ford
You're welcome
The way I see it,,,, If you bought that old truck and set aside the money you'd pay out for 1 year worth of truck payments,,, You'd almost Coukd build a perfect dream truck,,, I know if I had about 15,000 worth of cash hanging around,,, I'd have one awesome older 4x4 with the best of everything...why but new if old is still good enough? I'm still driving my 2 wd 89 chevy s10 blazer with 4.3 engine, built 700r4 trans and zexel torsion rear posi with 373 that will pull my ranger397xt just about anywhere....Bought it almost 17 years ago for $200.00
Payments? Payments?!? Payments are sissies.

Wannabe I ran my GMC till the wheels fell off and put Em back on. I sold that truck for 5500.00 to a high school boy and he totaled it 3 days later drag racing. If you get an 87 or later chevy it will be fuel injected. They will run forever if you service them
