I sure would like the more original truck, but the Gray one is growing on me, it looks more like what I need. And I don't even know if the other one is for sale.

I'm not really worried about towing. My next door neighbor has a 3/4 ton 4X4 and he's always willing to help, and I have my 2WD 3/4 ton that I could move up here.

I just want my own 4X4 for when the roads get bad.

This might be the ticket, if it's still there when I get back.




Oh well, fingers crossed.

This is not the bad part of the road, it's paved I just liked the pic.

that gray truck is a pretty nice rig with the gear vendor....and it is 3/4 ton isn't it?

Thank goodness, I thought you were checkin mine out hidin in the back yard! Been lots stop and ask about it. The gray one don't look bad. Salvage title isn't always bad, I've had one before that was just body damage that was fixed and was a good ride.

I looked at the craigslist ad again, it is a 3/4 ton...you should buy it....

Could be a salvage title for a properly handled cab swap. Seems like a decent truck from a couple few thousand miles away. I've bought CA trucks that were primed over syn burnt paint. I doubt it's a rust bucket
