If I had $30k and wanted to spend most or all of it, I would look in this order if I was willing to delete a truck if it had emissions issues.
1. Early 4th Gen Ram

3. Late 3rd Gen Ram 09
4. Late LLY/LBZ Dmax
5. 3rd Gen 5.9 Dodge with 6 speed manual (Again, tie for 4 and 5th place, pick the one best cared for.
If I wasn't willing to delete, I'd use most of $30k to buy a garage queen, low mile, 4 or 5 from above and save $3-5k for impending repairs that wouldn't be needed on a new truck.
