Alright gents I am now settled in North Alabama after retiring from the Marine Corps and no longer need my commuter car, a 2014 VW Passat TDI SEL. I am looking for a new daily driver that I can use on the farm so that I'm not tearing up my wife's Tundra. Here is what I am after:
Square body K20 Suburban. This is my first choice!
1960-66 Long bed C20 or K20
1967-72 Long bed C20, C30, or K20
Square body K20, K30, Long Bed. 3+3 or CUCV are a bonus
Square body K5, CUCV
1994-1997 F250, F350.
I am looking to spend $8000-$11,000 or trade my TDI (40.4 mpg). If you check out my previous Suburban, it is what I am trying to replace, and here are my requirements:
Long bed if its a pickup.
No 1/2 tons pickups unless they have bigger axles swapped.
True daily driver.
3" max lift
All gauges, lights, wipers, heater/AC controls work
No hacked up wiring
Doors not cut for speakers
Fan shroud
Original paint and interior if possible, even if faded.
Extremely limited rust, think a SoCal body.
Good tires, 10K miles left on them.
As close to stock as possible.
I need to be able to fly in, and drive it back to my place in Muscle Shoals, Al without a hiccup. Well small hiccups are expected.
Gas or Diesel, straight 6 or V8. A 454 will be considered but really not wanted as I will only be towing about 5% of the time.
Manual or automatic, my drive is 19 miles each way with 60 mph speed limits and only 3 stop signs.
I'm looking for a unicorn and I am willing to drive up to 1000 miles for the right rig.
