...and mind you, you get what you pay for. I'm thinking about the same thing lately (wouldn't mind a truck, actually need 4wd where I live) and was considering the diffent possibilities...maybe a Tacoma (it blows me away how darned expensive used ones are)...maybe a Silverado (hard to find shortbed / reg. cab ones...super hard to find manual trans). A couple of years ago, a good friend of mine bought a used 1999 extendo-cab, Z71 Silverado. Luckily the thing came with an extended warranty as it chomped thru *almost $11K in warranty repairs*. ABS pump / trans failure / two (2!) new cd players / etc. etc. YMMV of course, but jeez...it's kind of tough for me since I have a healthy bunch of that brand loyalty nonsense still running through my veins...all based on owning (mostly) 30 year old cars...but that particular truck sort of scared me off.

The '39-'41s weren't bad.
