Which Year to Buy

[BTighe]

Third gens (2003-up) have advantages in braking, steering, handling as well as "real" rear doors. Being the new body style, they will keep their value better. And, you won't have the dreaded VP44 injection pump and problematic lift pump of the 2nd gen 24 valves.

i would either buy the truck in joes sig or a 2nd gen 12v. find a 98 12v and you will have your 4 doors and the best engine. no vp44, cheap to bomb, and sounds the best.
