I found mine on the "back lot" of a used car dealership. Dirty, rough-running, squeaky A/C. Dealer was trying to steer me toward something newer/expensive. I said "Nope...I want that one.". $2500.
Removed the bird/rat nest from the air cleaner box, tightened the A/C belt, power-washed the engine compartment. Bingo. I'm certain I could sell it for $4k right now.
This isn't "mini-truck" territory, so they are tough to find. However, with all the full-size pick-ups I see with "For Sale" signs on them, the writing is on the wall. All these pick-up folk are going to need something for hauling/working.
