Another foolish person here Bob! Back in 77, a friend and I were shopping for new vehicles. He bought a new T-Bird for $7K plus. A single young man didn't need a car like that! Not to be outdone, I noticed a fancy new 77 Chevy Cheyenne sport truck, still sitting on the delivery transport truck. It was special ordered for new vehicle showing, had special paint, every option, but was 2wd. It came from factory with custom spoke wheels (even the spare), and had the 454 4bl. Being a short bed, it had no real truck use, just a young man's gas guzzlin hot rod. I paid sticker price of around $8,200, but traded in a less fancy truck, that was just one year old. I was fortunate to always pay cash difference, for the many new vehicles I bought, and traded every couple years. New trucks aren't that much more expensive, just the dollar value is so much less. I paid 9K for my last snowmobile trailer, to haul 3 sleds, that I paid 25K for. Now that is crazy! :)
