My truck is a one ton. I wanted it because I used one years ago . It was a company truck. I agree about starting with one that is a little bit better. You are more likely to stay interested if you can see some real progress. I bought mine five miles from home and had it running in about two weeks. Still working on it but I can drive it when I want to and thats why I bought it. I hav'nt had any trouble finding parts for it.
