12k-14K??? Too bad those arent pounds. I'd say go with a used Silverado. But that's just me. Plus a 35 mph rear-end wouldnt total a truck.

You need to be more specific than costs....

What years are you willing to go with....older = cheaper DUH

You want something to replace the 626, or something totally new?
