I am on the lookout for a 1/2 or 3/4 with a 6 for smaller jobs. Have an older S-10, but it's not much for pulling. End up putting most of my miles on the 460 powered 4x4 F350.....8 mpg's on a good day. I'm 15 miles from the nearest town. My non ferrous buyer is 30 miles away, my iron & electric motors go 60 miles away. My car batteries go 165 miles away. Really gotta stock pile for the core buyer...he is about 800 miles out. On the plus side, I have 10 acres in the middle of nowhere for stockpiling.

So, yeah, I can relate.
