Our new rig is a 1991 Silverado K2500HD ExCab showing 254,ooo miles, some of them pretty hard. IMHO it is a classic $400 truck, except 4WD (almost) and has a plow. The plow may be older than the truck (the pump looks like it's off a 1953 Studebaker). I know the tired 350 engine (a '92 or '93) is at least the third, I'm told it replaced a replacement engine that burned-up in a month. The automatic has been replaced with a stick. The glovebox pops open. The driver's door won't quite shut. The paint looks good at 30 feet and awful up close. It wanders on the road. I believe I pulled factory-original brake shoes out of the rear. Brake lines crumped at a touch. Aside from things that were used-hard (it has holes for a 5th-wheel hitch), it has also sat idle for a couple years, and many things are annoyed about being asked to work again.

Unlike the previous owner, or you guys, I only ask for 400 feet down the drive and back, and a couple gas/milk runs a year. I think many key things are 98% worn-out, and at the rate I'll use it there's a decade or more left in it.

> what the dealerships are wanting to give me on my 99 for trade

In 2001 I bought my first NEW new car. I was driving a 1979 Thunderbird with 238,000 miles, very comfortable, but the price of gas was going over $2, and there was a new noise in the gearbox. I kind of feared the dealer would CHARGE me for leaving 3,950 pounds on his lot.
