Hang in there mismith. Patience is the key. I shopped ebay and autotrader for a good 6 months before I found the truck in my signature. I had to fly to San Antonio to pick it up, but it's the best buy I've ever made on a vehicle. You're always taking a chance at the long distance shopping, but several phone conversations had me convinced it wasn't a wasted trip. I'ts not 4wd or a dually, but I got it for $13,500 with 78 k miles on it. Best part is it came with a 5th wheel slider hitch, the air bags after market intake and exhaust. And the VERY best part of it is that it's now paid for, I'd still have four more years of payments on a new one.
