Built a few myself in the past. The problem today is we like to take the grandkids and other family members with us and the older trucks don't have the room or the comfort. The Toyota Tundra crewmax fits the bill and is made here in San Antonio Texas.

I'd highly recommend a '99-'03 F-250 or F-350 with the International 7.3 diesel. The engine is bulletproof and there were countless numbers of them produced so parts availability is as good as it gets. Furthermore, many body parts from later years are interchangeable with little or no modification.
If you remember GM was one of the largest corporations in the besides cars they also made refrigerators and ranges washing machines.and other great products that keep Americans working and fed the economy of this country and others..we can't compete with the cheap labor or Asia,I'll always buy American,and support the American workers

: beat out of it and keeps on ticking, he ignores the fact that japan can make good stuff, and employ people over here while the big 3 are crying for more foreign work.
I drove my 1992 F-150 ten years 350,000 miles with very few problems. I still have my 2002 F-150 with 225,000 miles with few problems as a second vehicle. My new pick-up is a 2008 GMC basic long bed that I bought in 2011. It now has 70,000 miles on it. Both of the F-150's were just a basic pick-up that I bought brand new, and kept ten and fourteen years. The GMC is my first automatic transmission in thirty-six years. I have had good luck with basic pick-ups, work trucks.
You old man and I are loyal bro the American workers.If your for buffalo .Lots of cars and suppliers there.American axle use to make all the axles for the American cars .where are they now.I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.ANCHOR BAR OR DUFFS.Don't go looking at a lot of their new stuff, you will look like Charlton heston at the end of planet of the apes.
The workers didn't offshore their own stuff, and to blame it on people buying imports is incorrect. When gm makes a crappy product, that doesn't last, and on top of that, repeatedly kicks their rust belt workforce in the balls, why be loyal?
My father, fwiw, sees it your way. Even though his 96 yamaha wolverine has had the ::
Now your talking.Ain't that the truth

Although the best-selling mainstream midsize sedan in the U.S. comes from a Japanese automaker, it’s nice to know that it boasts the most North American parts content among its peers. The 2015 Toyota Camry is composed of 75 percent North American content and 15 percent Japanese content. Final assembly is done in the U.S., and the engines and transmissions are sourced from either the U.S. or Japan.

Who would have thought the fifth-best-selling full-size truck from a Japanese automaker would have the most North American parts content on our list? In fact, the ToyotaTundra is the only full-size pickup on the list. The Toyota Tundra features 70 percent North American parts content and 15 percent Japanese parts content. Additionally, the Tundra was designed, engineered, and built in the U.S. That includes its engines and transmissions.
