Default Wanting to buy a truck! Not afraid of mechanical issues!

After ton's of local craigslist searching, and even putting my truck up for sale without biters, I figured I might post up here and see what's going on.
I want a new truck really bad haha. Here's what I'm looking for.
I'm not picky as to what I want, Really Any 7.3 (obs or superduty), perhaps an 06-07 6.0, lb7 duramax, or a 12v cummins (first or second gen). Here's the catch, I'd really prefer to have an extended cab, and it must be a longbed and stick. I can deal with a standard cab, but I really have to have a longbed and I do not like automatics.
Like I said I am not afraid of trucks that aren't running. However, I only have 2000 in cash and I can't trade a daily driver for a non running truck.
Willing to trade my truck...coment to the thread for more details on it, or pm me. Once we start talking and I can tell you are serious I dont mind snapping some pics and sending it.
High mileage doesn't bother me. Neither does 2wd. Dents and dings dont phase me either. Obviously, completely rusted through body panels I might have an issue with.
Right now I got my truck listed for 8500...I'm willing to throw some cash your way if the truck is good enough, or you throw cash my way if the truck isn't in the best shape. Thanks for reading and please reply if you know of something!

Just for all of us can you post photos of your truck on here?

That might help find a trade

That's not a bad deal, I know they are high quality and extremely functional!

I want the 4 box version

High quality they are. I accidentally left the truck in nuetral without the parking brake on (I know...) and it rolled slowly at first but then picked up a little speed (not too much, all this was in 6 feet ) and rolled back into our farm dumptruck. Bent the dumptruck tailgate a little bit, the bed was UNSCRATCHED!
