Ok guys and gal, especially you roth boys I need some help. I just sold my 03 suburban and am now in the market for a new vehicle. I was going to get my travelette on the road but it is just going to require too much work. Here is where I need you guys (especially you oregon folks as it seems you have all the cool stuff up there). I am looking for something that can be pressed into service pretty much right away. Here is where it gets tricky; I need it to meet certain criteria. They are as follows.
4x4 ideally 3/4 ton
a/c needs to be there would prefer it works but needing charge or something May be ok
p/s p/b ideally disk brake front but depending May look at others
little to no rust or body damage
strong runner not looking for a big project tune up maybe
decent interior again not looking for a beater or a project
the following are the options in order of preference
travelette prefer 74-75 needs to be d series at least
Travelall same as above
turbo diesel Scout or traveller
85 to 93 pre powerstroke f350 crew cab srw
85 to 91 Chevy/gmc crew cab srw would prefer small block??
85 to 91 suburban prefer 3/4 ton with lift would prefer 350/700r4 combo
after that tell me what you found....
Please keep in mind that I don't have unlimited cash so please don't show me anything above 6 to 7k.
Thanks for your help!!
Edit: I want to add that I am willing to travel to get the right rig. Maybe not much further east than the rockies but you never know.

sent him an email, but the first person who called bought it at 11....
should've just used my roommates phone..... But oh well, the 4 binders I got right now are keeping me plenty busy!
