That's exactly what mine looked like. Once the rain comes through Friday/Saturday I'm thinking about doing some truck shopping this weekend. I have time on my side as long as my Jeep is able to get me back and forth to work, but once the snow starts flying the Miata will be put up for the winter so I have to have a 2nd vehicle available in case the Jeep has any further issues.

What are thinking about getting i came very close to buy a few year old F-150, but at the end of the day i couldnt justify spending that kinda money on a truck so i got one that old but can pull a freaking house down, and still has some life left in it with lots of charater, i agree its not as dependable as it needs to be but worse case senior i can drive the jeep or ride with my roommate to work.
89 F-350 7.3l diesel 150K I'm thinkin it will get the job done.
gearhead1985B:
flex if that truck dies you can use the axles for a 1 ton build
Flex:
the axles in this truck matchs the axles going into the comanche exactly so i guess u could say i could use them for my second 1 ton build, muah!

I haven't decided yet. I know I want extended cab for passengers if need be as well as tossing small stuff behind the seat rather than throwing it in the back end. I've been looking at Autotrader, Craigslist, Cars.com and other places at 2002-2006 F250s and Chevy 2500s. I don't think I really need a 3/4 ton, but I'm leaning that way and really thinking about going diesel also since I plan to start making an annual trip back to Michigan to run the Silver Lake sand dunes with my 4x4 club each June. I just don't know if the diesel is going to fit in my budget yet or not. If I go diesel then Dodge is also in consideration, but I wouldn't own a Dodge with a gas motor.
