We need a basic transportation pickup.

[workgoats]

My son is going to be moving back to College Station is right at a month from now.  He is wanting a basic transportation pickup.  Any brand would do but he will need to drive it to work, assuming he can get a job.  Budget is said to be a grand or two.

Anybody got anything that will run for sale?

I surf CL a lot and I always see 2nd gen Dodge pickups for $1,000-2,000.

Wow, that looks like a little more than basic transportation.  Wes is considering...

There IS that '91 RC in Houston - bet he'd LOVE that!

That way it doubles as your tow rig.  Aha....

That last link is a scam Richard. No way in the world it would go for that unless its a down payment.

Eric,  I tried to contact somebody with a CL Cummins in San Antonio but it was too good to be true for the price.  In the meantime I think I have a cheby for him right here in CS that we can drive without having to do much work on.

BTW, there is a one ton cheby at Navasota with a Corrections Office Command Center in an auction that closes Friday.  The truck has 70k miles and the the ambulance body has a cot, a table and a captain's chair.  Only has $500 bid on it as of now.

Plus I have a extra set of wheels load range E. I have a number Three Sticker on the windshield which is a One Ton. I only put 12 miles on in last year. And this year haven't even put a mile on it. I do start it to keep the battery charged and to go get it inspected. Updated information:
