Yeah, I wouldn't get too discouraged. I've looked at a lot of those low-priced trucks in person, and they're usually rusted beat-up junk that would cost way more to build than if a person went ahead and paid for a good example.

I do agree that gas prices might be driving prices down a little bit, but that can always turn around too. I Remember when it almost hit 5-bucks a gallon in CA. and then a year later it was under 2-bucks. Hung at 3 a year, or so and then the big screwing just came. Gas prices are starting to drop again here, it's $3.99.

In the meantime I'm just driving my little S-10 and working on the fullsize trucks. I don't care what gas prices might be, come the weekend I gotta drive a V8. Enjoy it now, May 21 the world is going to end... Uh, maybe I calculated the date wrong. I'll get back to you guys.
