Why diesel trucks?
Judging from my other two posts a lot of folks that responded drive DRW diesel trucks to carry the heavier multi slide campers. I understand the DRW for heavier payload but why diesel? Just looking at...

That 87-90 whatever it is is an awesome truck!
I love old iron and I love good deals even more. What a score!
Both you guys have a great point. You'll never find a low mile older diesel for a steal ever. And you have to search long and hard for what you got.
That's why I got an original 74 CJ5 that I never drive in the garage. Why not? Can drive that thing anywhere anytime and it's as old as me! Paid $2500 for it a lot of years ago and could have sold it 10x over for more $.
I'm the last guy to appreciate a new truck over old. First new car ever bought was an 01 Dodge because I boycotted abs and I could get a Ram with no abs and a manual shift 4x4.
But I've given up on finding unicorn trucks.... For now. Work 60-80 hours a week and kids playin comp sports and trying to maintain the homestead an wife, lol. I just need stuff that runs. And it helps that financially, vehicles aren't a large part of the equation.
Sweet trucks boys!
