I am looking to buy a 2002-2005 regular cab, gas, 6 speed manual, 4x4. Ideally I would like to find one that is mostly original, has some options (XLT maybe) and is in decent shape. I’m not too concerned about the shape of the box but the cab and frame has to be solid (rust free). In a perfect world the truck would be in Alberta, western Canada or western states, but after looking for years and missing out on a few lately I would consider almost anything. If it’s in Canada I would consider up to 2007, (it’s harder to import a vehicle newer than 15 years into Canada). Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

 

Hi,

I see several regular cab trucks online within the year range you need and 4x4 specs.

Here is one: https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...ckType=listing

Kinda high priced...

I appreciate the leads. I guess I should have been a bit more specific, I am looking for a Ford Super Duty, single rear wheel with the features I listed.

The last truck is almost perfect but its an automatic. As most of my family has noted, I am being too picky, there are a lot more autos out there, in my area even. I thought about an auto to 6 speed swap but its a lot of work.

The reason I am so specific is that I want to make a project out of it, to be a long term keeper, not a daily driver or work truck. I bought a new '02 that I factory ordered with everything I have listed except it was an extended cab. As much as it was the right truck for me, I always regretted not buying a regular cab. That truck was stolen and recovered and is still around but its too far gone with rust to be saved. Now that the trucks are 15+ years old I can finally afford one (maybe). I have been looking for about 5 years and have finally found a few in the recent months starting with one in my home town. I keep missing out on them though, some through my own non-commitment (until they sold) and others through just not being fast enough.

I have been searching on all the sites I can find but hopefully someone here might find something that I've missed or is not online.
