I was having Sara drive me around to different towns where people were selling their old pickup trucks. I had realized that if you were willing to buy a truck in really bad condition, you could get one cheap.
I would use this truck primarily to haul large boards home from Home Depot so I didn't really care care how messed up the seats or the radio or the doors were. I pretty much just wanted the engine to work and the bed to be structurally sound-ish.
The first one I looked at sucked, like the wheels were about to fall of or something, so now I was looking at another one. The bed on this one had a wooden fold-out extension, which I liked.
