Rob,

A great little truck for me has been a 91 GMC Sonoma/ Chevy S-10 mine is 4x4. 
I bought it cheap with 131 k on the odo and it has performed admirably. The 
big point for me is there are a ton of these out there. Parts are incredibly 
easy to find and are really cheap. Make sure you gt the 4.3 liter V-6.  I 
have used Toyo's before and they are bullet-proof mainly, but the older ones 
are underpowered and parts are harder to find.
