Yes, club and quad cabs were all the rage just like crews are today but you have to think that the regular cabs were still bought in heavy doses by people who needed a long bed for work so they probably are long worn out being used in fleets, farms, and ranches.

What sites are you searching? Cars.com is extensive but autotrader has owner vehicles in addition to dealers. Craigslist can work too if you cut out dealers. Sometimes I'll start in Seattle and keep clicking cities to the east and "walk" across the country to see what's for sale when I drive home.

 

I can help there but you better give me a blank check and say money is no issue. They went a lot for our trucks there.

 

searchtempest mainly... been watching auctions too, salvage and govt. there was one I was watching with only 37k miles, but it would have been 10k by the time I got it to PA.

 

That was sounding great till I hit the blank check part

 

I'm serious they must be on crack because they think they can get 12K for a gas truck that is 20 years old

 

Found a decent regular cab 4x4 2500 today. Was a govt truck in AZ, been in OH for about 7 years. Has a little body rust, and a couple bumps, but overall pretty good shape. So I pulled the trigger. Its a 2004, Hemi engine, and basically no options. Its not as tall as the 2nd gen was, but that can be fixed

Haven't decided what I'll do with the 2nd gen. I really like the body style and stance, but just couldn't find what I want.

Guess I'll be transferring over to the 3rd Gen site, gonna miss you guys!

 

Well good luck with it! I would have got a PW if I was going 3rd gen. I have a few and they are awesome

 

PW would be harder to find than a 2nd gen, and definitely not in my price range

 

I forgot about that 😂 if got decide to sell your 2nd gen let me know, or if you decide to fix or I can hemi you if you want!

 

Noooooooo!
Well, there's a lot to deal with. First, the AAM axles are worse than Dana. Replace the ball joints quick with some good aftermarket ones. Second, the steering needs to be upgraded to the 08+ setup. Third, the HVAC systems are horrid. Blend door issues galore. Is it a manual? If not, have fun with that 47re.
But as long as you're happy, enjoy!
