It's getting kinda scabby.

That's the good thing about trucks,  no matter how old or shabby, they still look good.

Yet yours is actually in better shape than mine.

It just ain't worth replacing. Trucks are too expensive.

The truck market is dumb. I can't believe what well used, maybe even almost worn out, trucks still sell for.

I can't believe what used trucks go for.  But it goes back to what I said earlier, no matter how old or shabby, someone thinks it's worth something.

Well, if you can't swing a new 60-70k truck, you're stuck with the used market.

Add in rust and whatever else you want out of one and the market gets fairly small.

I'm looking for 8k for it. Low mileage, needs some body work. No title.

Is the Chevy EcoTec3 V6 comparable to the Ecoboost? Not a huge Chevy fan, but apparently I might be able to get a discount.

I assume that the 5.3L V8 is a closer comparison.

I'm not too well versed in the Chevy stuff so I can't offer any advice Sad
