So last year I took advantage of an extra grand and picked up an old rusty '77 blue shortbed. I bought it with the intention of fixing it up and giving it to my son when he is old enough to drive. So I have a few years. It runs ok but has some mechanical issues, nothing major just some fine tweaks. The biggest adventure will be repairing the rust that is all over and mostly in the bed. I would imagine it would be cheaper to try and find one without so much rust but I need a good project and its a shame to let this old beauty rot out. Anywho glad to be here and I look forward to sharing my adventures with this little blueyota of mine.
