-- I would say a decent cheap transport would be any older 2 wheel
drive Chevy pick-up. Either the S-10 or full-size C-10 (hint: the C series
is 2WD The K's are 4WD). They're a dime a dozen, and well built too. You
should be able to find at least 12 of each in any decent size vehicle
bone-yard.
        Not to mention the fact that you can get cheap lumber to build a
rack body for the back if you need to...
