Any year in there should work for you just fine, just depends on what you like the most for styling. I would recommend a truck with a small block v8. It is easy to find these trucks that have had 350's and 700R4's swapped into them, so maybe keep an eye out for one of those combos since the overdrive would be a plus to your commute. I would think you should be able to get a decent truck within your price range.
