Replying to Help me pick a new truck!

Right now im driving a 1983 s10 diesel and i need something different for the snow. 2wd is not going to cut it in colorado next winter.

http://albany.craigslist.org/cto/2678460204.html this is my ideal option, i love these engines and the look of these trucks, plus the full sized bed is a huge plus

im not sure i want to make the initial investment of the diesel though


my other main option is a basic 1500 either a chevy or gm the mileage wont be as good as the diesel though. and it does not have a 8ft box. http://albany.craigslist.org/ctd/2670958660.html




i would like some opinions about either of these trucks or any other options i have
