OP here:
25 pages later of wonderful discussion, I still could use a new truck! And yeah, the price gags me. Over 100G for what I want.
My poor old beast turned 429,000K today. And I do still like it. It still has that silly grin reaction when I stuff my foot into it. I have a mechanic who is the best I have ever seen. He keeps it purring.
But after all those miles, she finally needs some front end work. 3-4K worth. And tires. About 300 a pop. 6 of the beggers. And headlights. Got some coming. And drivers upholstery. And a box. My rack and toolboxes have taken their toll on it. Could use a few touch ups on the body. A ding here, a dent there.... It got pummeled with hail on July 2nd. Hood, roof and fenders full of dents. Windshield has a million stone pits. Getting hard to see in the sun. No cracks though.
Yeah, getting old, but still going. Tranny has never been open. Just a few oil changes.
I stop by a lot here and there when I see a nice new dually sitting there..
Dream on Bob!!
