Re: Please help me decide between these two trucks...

I bought mine "running and driving" for $700. Most would say its a P.O.S. but I sorted the brakes, straightened the electricals, rebuilt the carb, bought some used tires to replace the mudders that were on it, put plates on it and rocked the snot out of it! I think it may have cost me a grand to get it driveable but almost two years later its outside ready, willing and able. At your price point you're gonna buy a piece of crap wether its $500 or $2000. You are still gonna have to de-PO it and sort numerous other things. Either way its gonna cost you money. If you buy the $2000 truck you may uncover stuff later and still ask yourself "tell me again why I bought this thing?".

I vote for the black one because its the most complete although the pics for it only amounted to one outside shot. If you buy a LWB and really want a SWB you are messing up right off the bat. You'll regret it. Find the best thing you can, get it running and driving and rock the snot out of it. Click on my thread to see how you can get a cheap truck on the road.
