If you want a chevy then rule out a Diesel, unless you are getting a Duramax, The old chevy 6.5 diesels were pure SH!T. I would look for an 94 or new Ford or an 91 and new dodge, But Good luck finding a cheap diesel with 150k miles or less, Most 1998 and new diesels have 150k on then and they are getting $18,000 for them. SO just exactly how much your a looking to spend is important, A good realiable towrig and trailer is going to cost you $15-20,000

if you get your business going I have an 80" tow dolly that you could rent real cheap.
