just bought my second 12v in less then a year!
heres the ad i saw:http://southcoast.craigslist.org/car/674471071.html
SLT Package, well maintained, with recent service. Work truck, with its fair share of Dings, Dents & rust, 2" receiver w/7 pin connector, driven daily, tows great, runs great & great fuel economy 25+ MPG. 218,000 highway miles. The engine alone is worth the asking price of $1,800.00 or BRO. Located in Onset, MA
i got it for a decent amount less then what he was asking, it really does run and drive great, but the downside it, the hood is dented pretty good, but thats no big deal i planned on buying a cowl hood anyways, the bed is dented good enough to just replace the whole thing, the doors are rusted thru, but i found doors that are only a few months old for 500 for both complete! the carpet is stained pretty bad and may have to be replaced, the rear bumper is completely rusted but thats not a bad thing, i planned on taking it off anyways to put a roll pan on, the headliner is sagging pretty good, and the throttle linkage needs adjusting, it sticks a little. and the steering componets need replacing i think, but its 2wd so theres only, the idler arm,pitman arm, tie rods,ball joints and track bar, so it can't be too bad. and the water temp gauge doesn't go much above the 140 mark. but everything works fine, except the ac and that just needs to be recharged, so what do you think good deal?

Just having that thing for $1500 or less is an amazing find.

i know its not too much different around they sell for alot especially 5spd 4x4 12v's those are worth alot. i found another great deal: http://nh.craigslist.org/car/706709537.html
he wants 4k obo run great hunts for overdrive but it has a dtt performance valvebody,5" exhaust, amsoil filter, and 8' fisher plow and its a standard cab long bed which are the best trucks to plow with, i called the guy last sunday and was gonna look at it on monday night and bring cash for a deposit, but my dad said we have to one of our trucks before we get another, and my dad has a 12v, my brother has a 12v, and i have 2 12v's and a lebaron with the 2.5 turbo it, and we have a gas 2500 all reg cab long beds except my dads which is a club cab. and he's got his mitsubishi dump truck in our driveway, along with my moms durango and some times he parks his 42hp diesel stump grinder in the driveway so it gets a little tight.
