I miss being here
Really regretting trading my truck in for a jeep, and these trucks are hard to find. I see em everywhere driving around but none for sale and if they are they are beat or gone in a day. Chevies of the same era are friggin everywhere however.

I feel bad for you really. I couldn't handle getting rid of any of our projects or even our running 86 F150. Maybe one of these days you will find one again. Maybe checking autotrader you could find one near by or something like your local craigslist. It seems like lately it is the same thing around here even for chevys. It was like looking for my mom's Expedition it took us almost 4 months till we found this one when before they were going left and right.

I see some regular cabs, but I got rid of mine cause I need a back seat. And I'm on autotrader daily, drives my wife crazy. Just had to complain for a sec to the only people who'd understand why I want to trade in a loaded (i mean EVERYTHING) 2000 jeep for a truck at least 4 years older.

I almost got divorced for trading an '01 Chevy Prizm with ~300k on the clock and the rod bearing on the #4 piston slapping for my '96 F150 RCSB. Wifey was not happy, because the truck 'doesn't get 25mpg'. I should have been getting closer to 40mpg with that car... That and at 6'0' and 330lbs I barely fit it in it. She has however grown to like the truck.

Single with two old fullsize 4x4's and a lot of guns.
Did ya check craigslist? Craigslist is just full of people who don't know what they have and have old trucks "taking up space". Not to say it's chock full of screaming deals but it's where I do all my car shopping anymore.

I know I have been looking for months now for another parts truck I want a 351 in the 92-96 range but nada for a good price. no way I am going to pay 1300 for a non running with a blown tranny pickup truck. Shoot 2k bought my dad's 86 F150 with 100k miles on her.

If it wasn't a Jeep and it was a Harley I would do it anyday of the week. I don't like jeeps I think most of the time they are money pits. Wait right now half of my familys fords are.

Any old rig is a money pit. Though mid to late '90's cryslers seem to have slightly more than their share of issues, especially with the trannys.
