Thinking about buying a "newer" truck - any advice?

You're gonna spend 30K right quick like. I say get an older D100 in great shape to begin with, swap an OD trans in it and go.

I've been thinking about this more and more. Even after doing more research today, even the RAM's are expensive as hell. Might just wait for a nice D100 to pop up with a rebuilt motor and paint job. Problem is that with our smog laws I'm stuck between 72 and 75 for a pickup since I don't want a Sweptline so they are fairly few and far between.
