That's the first thing I thought of.....

Clean truck. That was a good deal for sure.

Greg, my Dad seemed interested in it to keep the miles off the Vette. But, you get 2nd dibs on it. I'd like to keep it actually, even if I get a new truck, just to haul nasty crap and use for work. But, I think Lisa would go nuts since I already have too many cars in the driveway haha.

I'll watch the mpg this week. It has a HUGE gas tank on it, takes like $45 to fill up. I like that, it lasts longer.

Good choice, we have 2 of those for work trucks. 151k and 181k and still going strong. The higher mileage one has quite a bit of pinging, but aside from that very few problems. Guess we get 20-25 mph. Not bad at all IMO.

Not to bad on the mileage if in fact it does get that much. I'm going to have to get something else to drive back and forth to work. 15mpg sux. I'm going to look for something that is in the $3500 range that gets at least 20mpg. I should be able to get $2000 for the dodge considering the shape it's in. I've been looking for an ext cab , auto S-10.

Damn that looks clean. When I think of a beater truck, I think of the 80 Chevy that I had. I will say that I would be proud to drive that as a "beater" truck.
