For me, retirement just created a longer list of things to do, with less of them including camping. You would think you could just finish old projects, but being retired just gives me time to think of more projects. I had more time for camping when I was working. Oh well, life goes on.
I guess I will take my old 1996 truck and 1988 TC to the grave with me. I am not into new, and see nothing new replacements can do for me. I guess ignorance is bliss. I recently had a new transmission and torque converter installed. So far, it has been great. I have no interest in a stick shift nor do my knees.
Good luck on your truck search.
