Hi Todd those lovely simple straightforward trucks seem to be surprisingly hard to find.  I was in the market myself and I couldn't find a  functional low mileage pickup  like that. The old ones all seemed to have been messed with too much over the years and the newer ones are all full of the fancy stuff you see on all trucks these days and/or were extended/crew cabs.

I finally had to buy a 1995 Chevy short box 4x4 auto with about 260,000kms. It is a fairly high end truck with all the bells and whistles of the time but at least is a regular cab. It works well except when I have a serious load to haul or on long trips when the buckboard ride quality starts to get to me.

i also picked recently up a slightly decrepit 1990 Silverado long box regular cab 4x4 that I'm using just as a yard truck. That is more what you want I think but i wouldn't try driving it to where you live! That would be an adventure!

They have to be out here somewhere!

this one in calgary might be worth investigating - seems to have most of the specs you are looking for

F250 in BC, low kms:

Heading out to look at this:

94 1 ton reg cab 4x4 with a 350/auto. 125000 kms. Had a replacement box thanks to a tree falling on the old one. Seller pretty much rebuilt the steering and brakes. Plow has new motor. 

Congratulations. There's always something out there to be bought if you are patient. 

Congrats Todd!  Looks like just the ticket!

Next decision:  Paint the cab silver or the bed red?  

One nice thing from the pics is that the bed gap looks even all the way up.  I've seen quite a few of that generation around here that looks like the frame sagged a little bit when they are used hard.  The fact that yours doesn't have this is a good sign.

 That sag can also be rotted cab or bed mounts.

Oh sure they can, especially around here.  Rust does all kinds of weird and wonderful things to vehicles, especially on the east coast.  

I'm not a truck guy, but was told by somebody familiar with them that the frame sag was a common malady with this gen of Chev.  If I'm wrong I stand corrected.

Regardless, Todd's truck look great!

I think you snagged a long term unit there!  Looks perfect!

Good stuff ... welcome to the PEI  reg. cab, long box, 4x4 club!
