When I say "more desirable" I mean highly factory optioned swb or lwb trucks. I too would like to hear more input.
I agree with Dwane. However that being said, the "loaded" trucks can easily be built for a small price. My truck was bone stock when it was made. No A/C, no PS, no PB and a 3 speed manual. Now it has PS, PB, 4 speed Auto and I'm working on adding A/C before this summer.

It is getting harder to find the loaded trucks for sale that are in good shape. But I suppose anything is possible if you have enough time and/or money. I still think that a project truck with restoration costs totaling 15-20K is a VERY good price for a "new" truck that is one of a kind!
