Older Truck Search Help
Posted on 7/25/17 at 7:45 am

Son is interested in an older model truck, as in mid/late 80's to early 90's.
Any advice on searching for something like this? I know that regular used car dealers aren't going to have 'em. Are there some dealers anywhere in the BR and surrounding areas that kinda specialize in this sort of thing?

First off, very few have survived from the TPI/TBI years for good reason. Now dealers cant make any profit on something that old so you wont find them on lots. The best way to find these are free advertisements and pure luck of driving around and word of mouth. I have a few junking friends that do nothing but drive around looking to scrap, barter, salvage stuff. These types of people are your key to finding good deals and know every vehicle in the area that has a for sale sign.
BTW now is good time to get into a 80's/90's. Its always been my opinion that the collector car market follows age (not car style). That the hot vehicles are the ones that were around when people with money were teenagers. People that were in their teens in late 80's and 90's are getting set in their career and about to push kids out of the nest. These year vehicles will get popular real quick. Even the terrible cars will be popular. I remember when 80's and 90's pony cars were worth more scrapped. Now look at them.

Craigslist out of state ads. What model you looking for? I have been looking around and there are a few in decent shape. If you look around the State, you are really limiting the chances of finding what you want unless you get lucky.

Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace are the only affordable places I know. I'm looking for a single cab f150 4x4 from the early-mid 90's. On eBay they can reach $20,000 for a good clean one. Insanity.

I really want a 94-96 bronco. But I think I need to wait until my kids are old enough to climb in on their own.
Seems like you can get a decent one for 5-6k. Another 10k in rebuild and upgrades and I would have a bad arse fricking ride.

Try using search tempest. It's s craigslist search engine. Put in your zip code, what your looking for, and the distance your willing to travel. It will search all of the craigslist ads in the mile range input.

Truck forums usually have a for sale section. Too bad we can't have one here.

How is this different from the miles from zip feature already on craigslist?

You most likely aren't. What drives that price so high for the f250 is the highly saught after low mileage 7.3 diesel
