I know that this is the one ton forum, but if you're looking for a work truck, you may want to include the short wheel base 1.5 tons in your search. It seems that they are somewhat scarce, but just another option to widen your search. If you check out one tons only, you may not find many to look at. Either way, I would look for one with the least amount of major work.
Besides, the shorty "Big Bolts" are cool.
