Type of truck to go with?

Don't overlook an older Toyota T-100. They were basic, reliable, and had an 8' bed available.

Good point. I always get 8 foot beds. Anything less is not a Pickup, it is a Chickup.

Toyota is the high mile king of the hill. If you avoid corrosion you might not even be at half life yet.
