looking for a relatively big (not behemoth, but able to haul an engine, wood, etc with little headache)
pickup is fine, but has to be 4wd or awd. prefer something with good parts availability (thinking along the lines of something with a ford or chevy small block)
so far ive thought of:
older f-series, ranger possibly astro van (4wd version) ram bronco i would even consider the commanche, but theyre hard to find in decent condition, much less cheap.
this is purely a beater vehicle, so how well the paint holds up isnt a concern.
any comments on the examples above, or other suggestions?
mainly i want something that gets me and my load here to there without me worrying if it will make it. getting through snow and off the beaten path is a possibility, hence my preference for 4wd where possible.
