Check whatever make and model you settle on for recalls before you make the purchase . Not all manufacturers recalls will be covered based on age of the vehicle . but it will help diagnose future problems or things you may need to replace .
If I needed a 90's truck on the cheap . I would get a smaller truck to start maybe somthing that needs a little tlc but has a nice appearance no rust or dings . The last truck I bought had a factory recall , now I'm tearing down a engine . It's ok thou because I will have a truck with 72k on it after 2 days labor and $50 in parts . The same repair A shop would charge $1200 to do , it's all in the labor . I recommend getting somthing you feel comfortable working on because when you just start out and funds are tight paying a mechanic $120 a hour for labor is not a option .
Good luck on your quest and remember buyer beware !
