Be patient and alert. Trucks are out there, sometimes in surprising places. The internet is a great tool, but don't forget about newspaper ads, penny-saver, thrifty-nickel and other trader type publications. And keep your eyes open all the time. Many people on this forum and others have reported searching high and low for a truck (or car) and then finding one __ blocks from home. I agree with the others; buy the best example you can aford. Good luck!
Oh, and don't get impatient and buy a ford just because it's available...
