there you go buy em both then you can have a bad *** weekend toy and a tough work truck. the flat bed would be the way id go personally my 91 had one on it but i ripped it off for a regular bed. i got a soft spot for those flat bed trucks. plus the 5 speed. my vote is the white one.

They are both awesome-looking trucks. One's a looker and the other's a worker. Which do you need more... the flat-bed or the extended cab? Can't tell what the white truck has for tires, but they look pretty good from the pics, but unless those Swampers on the blue truck are radials, you'll be cussing them every day if you are gonna daily-drive the thing. If it were me, I'd buy the blue one, swap in a NV-4500 manual trans and some 285-75R16 A/T's and blind everyone with my permanent GRIN!

I agree; for what you want to do (pulling Stock trailers) get the white one.
For a purty truck get the blue one.

I would get the blue truck.
the white one makes the same power but runs hotter(EGT wise) to do it. has twice the miles, is older and not as well equipped.
the auto is not rated to tow as much but since you said you already have a dually, towing capacity is not really a priority. I would build the auto an put better tires on it and enjoy.

With the money that you would save by buying the white one, would that money cover any common issues a truck with 325k would have? I would go with the blue one, nothing says you cant pull the 35's off and sell them on craigslist and flatbeds IMHO are only useful when if need them, but for everyday stuff they are a PITA.
