Hi all,
I am in the market for a cheap-ish pickup to use as my daily driver. I have found a few within my area but I'm just not sure which way to go.
I am not too mechanically savvy but I know how to do basic maintenance and can turn a wrench to swap parts, I'm a carpenter not a mechanic so things like the motor and transmission are daunting to me.

Anyways here are the few that I'm looking at. There are also a few in the $5k range that have rebuilt motors or all original with low miles, I would just rather not have to borrow money to get a vehicle. Right now I have $2k in my pocket slated for this.

$500 out of my max price range if I have to borrow money


Thanks in advance for any input.
