Looking for new 2003/2004 REAL mini truck

I got mine from a private party off eBay ad. Talked him down a tiny bit but still paid big time.

granted some people, who may just happen to have more trucks than fingers, cough, cough, may not love 2nd Gen styling. And I realize OP is focused on 1st Gen. But I personally think the headlights are way better and the overall truck is an improvement without being materially bigger.

My take is overspend if the intent is to keep it long term. Within reason. I wouldn’t, for example, drop 50 on a mint ‘78 because then you can’t really enjoy using it as a truck.

 

offerup, fb marketplace, craigslist

 

I've even seen on these classifieds where one ole boy would even deliver to anywhere in US if you cover each 8hr shift to get to you and his plane ticket home......
