Default WTB: truck locally

I got about 4k to spend on a nice pick-up. preferably GMC or Chevy. send me pics and let me know what you got. It will be used mainly for towing my car. so 4cyl/6cyl wont really help. (unless you think the truck will be able to tow 4500pds)

No offense but you cant buy a "nice" pickup for 4,000$.

Good luck trying though.

+1, id say look for an older (early 90's) dodge ram pickup. You can usually find one thats in decent shape with under 100K miles for around 4K.

you will have a hard time finding a truck that can haul for 4k. your best bet would be to find a late 80's full size that has been taken care of. its either that or an early 90's thats been beat on with high mileage.

I have a 96 dodge ram 3/4 ton 4x4 with about 80,000 miles on it that I am looking to get $5300.00. The truck does have a 5" superlift on it and is riding on 35x14 1/2 boggers. The truck would come with the stock tires and most of the stock suspension. The biggest issue with the truck is that the middrift paint is peeling.
