just sort model year to between 88 to 98 chevy trucks I'd imagine

givin your geographical location youre probably going to end up having to overpay for half decent truck or end up getting a rust bucket, thats just the nature of your local market
if you want a truck you can keep id suggest looking further south if you just want a beater truck for a year or two find something not completely rusted out and buy it

It goes by many nicknames
>K1500 (or C for 2wd, or 2500/3500)
>OBS among enthusiasts
>GMT400 is the name of the platform like "panther" is to the Crown Vic
Just search by model year. The 96-98s had MPFI instead of TBI and make a lot more power. Interior changed in 95 and got pass airbags in 97

I see some clean rangers, like one today with like 150k on it for 2k and change.
But what worried me and lead me not to go look at is the guy had like 6 other cars on his property in the back round pictures, and said he got another ranger from 2005 with a bad axle that he is replacing this one he got a year ago with.
I'm not a mechanically inept retard but I get really nervous any time I even think about looking at something because I don't want to get raped when I get it inspected. Rust I can spot, but how to tell if some joint is going to be okay, or needs to be replaced when I take it in to get it inspected gets me nervous.
If I needed to I'll do the work myself because I do whatever I need to.

Ok I got some hits. Any reason these retards think that a lift kit adds +$5000?
Josiah Smith
same reason people that vomit the tapco catalog on an SKS makes it worth $800

just buy a civic for 3k. old trucks are a fucking nightmare that'll nickle and dime you to death and i live in a rust free state.
sttop buying dumb shit you don't need and you won't "need" a truck to buy dumb shit. ffs, you can't scrape together cash for a decent truck. just get an affordable car so you can get a real job and some savings instead of some old tired workhorse that'll destroy you financially.
t. 1stgen fag that's been there so I know you'll ignore it.

1st gen dodges are literally terrible. fuck every first gen dodge unless you plan on having zero parts support and having to rewire the entire truck like I did with my w250.
