That means they are $30K+ What a joke. Can ya tell I've been truck shopping? Actually with a diamond plate bed that MB conversion would likely hold up better than the 1/2ton luxo crap trucks they are selling these days. RT

My recommendation - ask for the fleet manager. You should have no problems getting a rubber floor, manual window, manual tranny, manual locks, stripped out fleet style truck. If you are looking around in the city, you may just have to take a drive to a rural town to get one. I know I had to, when I bought my truck. One salescreature in the DFW metromess actually asked me if I was crazy for wanting a manual transmission.
Neeless to say, I left. I drove about an hour northeast of the metromess to Bonham, TX (probably closer to two hours now with the increase in traffic), and had my choice of colors to basic 3/4 ton Cummins powered trucks.
