I wouldn't get anything with an exposed engine if your still going to the bar
I like all kinds of cars too, and Rods are a favorite.
I can see you like a short bed truck. Something to consider might be like the one I drive and bought new, NFS though.
It's a short bed 1995 Reg. Cab Chevy Silverado PU 5.7 V8. All the comforts and they look sweet without to many mods. Pretty good on fuel and sound nice with some flow masters.
And their cheap IMO, But hard to find with the 5.7 from what I've been told. Their good for over 200K miles.
