You can look at it two ways. You can find a truck that has a built everything and modded through the roof, or you can find a stock L and start from scratch.
IMHO, and what I decided, was to get a totally stock L to first appreciate it for what it is/was from the factory. Then start building it yourself. This way you can do it all the way YOU want and not just get something that's been changed/personalized to someone else's standards. Sure I may end up doing a lot of the same things as another, but in the end the vehicle feels more like your own when you were the one that did all the work and made all the decisions. Plus if you weren't the one that did all the modifications how will you ever learn about the truck? (unless you know already or have previous experience i.e. Rob and his 3rd L)
Good Luck!

I would go for a stock one first also, I know what most of the modded trucks have been through LOL, although I've only had to do the posi and torque convertor in 40,000 mi of abuse (it didn't like drag racing from lights with Car and trailer on the back) but still would usually win LOL
when you can haul your buddies car to the track, unhook the trailer toss on your Hooisers and run consistant 12.6xx all day, hook it all back up and still win a couple streetlight races on the way home, why wouldn't ya love it.
also those Adult owened and driven vehicle ads don't mean Squat, if it's already modded chances are, it ain't been babied
