BUT.......have you seen the prices on the trucks equivalent big red? I have a 2006 Chevy Silverado HD, its a 4 door 4 wheel drive, completely loaded, very nice truck. Transmission starts slipping @180,000 miles. I take it to my guy, he quotes me 2500.00 for new torque converter install, good price. Just for S--ts and giggles, I Cruz the Chevy dealership yard-------$40,000.00 for a truck with everything that mine has or is equal to. No thanks, my trucks not perfect, but I can buy a lot of transmissions for 40,000$, plus it sits In the yard most of the time, I drive my little beater Nissan every where I go.

Why paint it? It has character, you had to put a lot of miles on it to get that kind of character.
We have a 2004 F250 Lariat diesel truck. I bought it for DH when I worked for a Ford dealership and got it for invoice. Then Ford ran a no interest weekend sale, so we didn't have to pay interest either. Sweet deal! It has 140,000 miles on it. For 13 years he drove it to work, 3 miles away. We have to fix things every now and then, but it is cheaper than $60,000 for a new one.
