Default Doing some searching to help a friend

Got a buddy of mine who is looking to buy a diesel soon and I said I'd help find what he's looking for.

Must have:
Cummins
4x4
Crew Cab
STICK SHIFT
Less than $20k
Good running condition

What doesn't matter:
12 valve/24 valve/CR
Long /Short Box
2500/3500
SRW/DRW
Mileage

He is stationed in CA and doesn't want to have to travel TOO far...sorry but that means anything east of the line that is formed from Montana to Texas. It's not something that he will be buying in the next month or so but he is in the searching game and if the perfect truck happens to present itself then he is willing to end his search and buy it.

because good running condition matters and milage figures into value most likely. running condition is more important

x2 Perfect explanation. Also since the year is not important mileage could range from 65k on an '06 to 270k on a '95. Not meaning to be a dick and I know you were trying to help, but I know of hundreds of automatic trucks for sale, hence why I capitalized "STICK SHIFT" under the must have section.

You're already screwed, Dodge doesn't offer a crew cab. They have their quad cab, which is basically 4 full doors on a slightly larger version than everyone's extended cabs. They're still not as comfy as a true crew cab.
