I bought a 1987 pickup new, and have been driving it ever since. I've had a few minor problems, but mostly just the everyday things; tires etc.
Right now it only has 60,000 miles on it, and I have had several offers to buy it... As of right now I will continue to drive until it will no longer go.
What I don't like is there's just not enough room, but I can deal with that.
It's truly been a great truck with few problems... Love it.

I'm looking for a good starter truck; there's one similar that this one except it's a 22re. It costs 5500, and I'm not entirely sure if I should take out a loan on it. Do you have any advice for me?

If I were taking out a new starter vehicle loan, I would buy a newer smallest vehicle with a long warranty. Lower interest rate too. A big unforeseen repair plus payments in a starter vehicle is a concern. Plus newer is usually more reliable for work. I would buy an inexpensive starter new vehicle. My kids did that and have pretty low payments. I use to get phone calls with older ones that they broke down. And it wasn't really cheaper to buy overall over time.

My 1987 Toyota Pickup truck just turned 427,000 miles; I had the original engine rebuilt at 323,000 miles. I bought the truck used when it had 80,000 miles. Had I not had a 1973 Celica that I put on 340,000 miles, I would have never bought the truck. It has been a great truck, and my goal now is to hit the 500,000 mile mark.
Believe or not, I have had two offers to sell the truck, but right now it is not for sale!
