Honestly, I would buy a pickup and hire the stone hauled , the gas you will burn hauling 2-3 ton a t a time will add up fast . You could shovel off one load of mulch a year and a pickup is a lot better to haul hay(lower and much easier to climb in and out the back). You could also look into one of those load-handler tarps to slide material out of a pickup. I bought one at Harbor freight but havent tried it yet. I regularly haul 48 bales of hay on a pickup. I have often had the wish for a small dump truck for the same uses as you but it just never pencils out. All that being said- I would make my choice based on your mechanical skills and desire/time/ funds to get a truck going. The Dodge is basically scrap price and sounds like it needs a fair bit of attention. If it has sat in a field for a couple years you will have plenty of rust issues ie exhaust, possible floor pans , possible oil pan and gas tank to contend with, along with a battery, possibility of brakes rusted up. If you are unable/willing to take on the time and expense of this project, it may cost more to get it in shape than its worth. It may actually make you more work than it saves you. I would probably try to get the Chevy for a little less money if it is in good shape, OR keep looking.
