Re: Best place to find a truck to buy

You probably took the first step in that someone here on the board may know of a decent truck local to them that is for sale that meets your criteria.

Stock: shipping it to NZ that is probably a necessity at least in chassis and running gear.

Running? Running driving trucks are a lot easier for everyone involved to deal with.

condition? Restored or one nice original truck or just a solid stock truck with little or no rust or body damage that is a very complete truck?
Shortbed? Big window/small window? 6 or V8? Stick trans or Automatic?

Trucks show up on Craigslist all the time but most of those guys want cash in hand and are really spooked about getting offers from out of country. Way too many scammers answering Craigslist adds.

If you do see a really interesting truck check and see if one of the regular posters on here lives nearby. Most of us would be willing to go check out a truck and take an album of photos if the prospective buyer reimbursed us for the gas we used to go look at it and some may not even need that.
