I had a lead on some old worn out ( and I mean abused and worn out) work trucks, but they all went for $2500-$3000, and all the trucks had 220,000 miles or better. I didn't care about the mileage, because I plan on rebuilding it anyway, but the rest of the trucks were junk. Not a straight panel anywhere, so couldn't even sell the leftovers to recoup some of the cost. They guy who bought them hauls them to Mexico, that happens alot here. I will find one though, just gotta be patient. The big seller on them in this area is that most of the mileage is highway, so they still want a premium for them. I am going to start checking some other wrecking yards and see if I can get lucky. I really want a 6.0 for my extended cab, maybe I'll find an 8.1 for my choptop. We'll see.
