ok, awesome. Thats the actually the ones ive been eyeing on craigslist. I personally like all the body styles, definitely want the extended cab though. So for me, its whatever one has the better history and will be easiest for modding. Are parts pretty easily accessible for that gen? Anything I should look for in particular when Im checking these cars out? Other than the obvious red flags...

Thanks so much for your responses, it means a lot!
