    I put my wife on a mission to find me an old work truck. I needed something to make dump runs, haul materials for my rental properties, etc. that I didn't have to worry about scratching or damaging. My criteria was only that it was dependable and cost less than a grand, and possess the ability for me to sell for my purchase price when I am finished with my projects. Here's what she found me:

    It's a 1997 Dodge Ram SS/T. Turns out these are limited production trucks that came out during the early sport truck craze. It has the tuned 360 in it with special exhaust, and all sorts of other goodies. This thing is fast, and runs like a top. Once I am done working it I may have to fix this little jewel up and keep it!

    Fit and finish were always a problem with dodge. But this one seems perfect for what you want it to do.

    The Amigo is mine already. I've had it a few years.
