    Good luck with the search. May want to open your parameters to 120,000 miles or less. ;)

    Just bustin yer chops.:D

    Mileage doesn't really scare me on these trucks. The frame rust scares me...

    Here are the Auto Trader search result for any Toyota truck year 2000 - 2014, within 200 miles of Glendale CA. You didn't supply your location. There are several ways to look, Carmax.com, Autotrader, like I found mine, private sales, look in local Facebook, Craig's List there are others, I just can't remember right now!
    Looking for a specific truck, may take awhile. The "shortage" will come into play both in price, and availability. It may come to you will have to accept outside of your dreams.

    But hey, Good Luck. It took me 3 months of daily looking before I found my 2003AC!

    There's what I believe is a sister site for Craigslist results, www.searchtempest.com

    I've used it a few times to find vintage stuff within a few hours of where I am, when normal CL search was failing me.

    Check NYC Bronx area on facebook marketplace. There is always something for cheap and clean . The problem is NYC is filled with shyster scumbags.....and I'm from NY.

    Having lived in the Bronx for 15 years, your last comment is spot on but I'd worry about rust from anything along the northeast. I think it's totally worthwhile to search for a first gen in non snowbelt states. @zgurrola21 what area of the country are you located?

    You offer $1,000,000 & you can have one thats perfect aside from paint & doesnt have a front bumper. I still have the rear seat, but its got a dog platform. Both cubbies are accessible. Cap & bed are optional. Plan to stretch the frame to fit an 8’ bed, then the cap isnt gonna fit traditionally, but i might be able to chevy avalanche myself a working door & have 2’ of bed for haulin’ the minibike. Or deer. Or cooler. Or tubes…whatever.
