Very good choice if you want a reliable truck but don't mind a plain interior. IMO, the GMC models from that generation looked a little better than the Chevy.

Check the service history before you buy. Make sure it wasn't in a collision, flooded, or spent too many winters north of I-40. Make sure the previous owner kept up with oil changes, transmission flushes, etc.

This one in Houston was a manager's at some Chevy dealership up there, and only 102k miles, so I'm not too worried about the service history. Only standard stuff that I am expecting goes wrong between 100 and 150k. Since it is older, parts are cheap and it is still very easy to work on.

Just grabbed my envelope full of cash and am westbound. Probably gonna buy it today, drive back to New Orleans in the Infiniti, and fly there tomorrow to pick it up.

Oh yeah, it also has the typical GM cracked driver's seat and missing tailgate handle shroud At least it isn't a hunk of shite Ford though. Hopefully will update with pics later if everything checks out
