I would try to find an early 98 12 Valve Quad Cab. in excellent condition. You may need to look a while and go some distance to find a good one, as long as there is less than 200,000 miles on it, and if everything checks out, BUY IT. Upgrade the transmission, Tq.Conv. or Clutch depending on transmission type, then put a few mods on it and enjoy. You can have a great truck for $12,000-$15,000 when you are done modifing it. Ive. got $18,000 in mine but I went "OverKill on the transmission TQ/Transmission.
Just my $0.02

That sounds like a good deal i am also looking for a diesel and i found a real nice 02 regular cab with 68k miles for 20k so thats just a comparison to show you what they go for. Also I prefer the 24v motor but thats preference. Have it checked out its got plenty of life as long as it has been maintained.
