Sorry your trip did not turn out as planned. Kudos to you for haveing the foresite to wait for what you want.

I too think you can just wait it out here locally and find a nice truck. You may have a bit of a wait for a short bed though. Between the truck section, the auto care & repair section and the classics section in the Bee, you will find one. I bet 3 or 4 months tops.

You are totally correct that a lot of the trucks for sale out here are overpriced. Those are usually the "restored" and "partially restored" ones. Myself, I'd like to get one that has just been "maintained"!

Unless you want to pay top dollar, I'd stay away from the shows/meets. I went to the Turlock meet and MY truck was better than some of those that were asking 10K+. While I luv my truck, I am realistic enough to know that I'd be lucky to get 8k.
Good luck in your search.
