Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 82765, member: 578"] What I really think about old versus new driven off the dealers lot: First I personally will never pay to drive a new vehicle off a dealer lot. To me that's throwing away 20% of my money. Beyond that though: Give me a 97 CCLBSRW which you could pick up one with a good body but no drive train for a few grand. I love the look of these trucks how damn long they are etc. But of course they are rattle boxes that will knock your fillings loose and could use some beefing up for the frame in stock form. I would be much more satisfied putting 100s of hours of labor installing all new tech parts to make it everything current model years are than putting out a bit more $$ and driving a new model year truck off the dealer lot. .Throw a fully built 7.3 or even a 6.4, cummins whatever flavor you like in there if thats your thing. Some 08+ axles with 4 links, fully decked out custom interior from dash to floor pans. A countless number of personal touches. That to me is so much more appealing than anything you could ever drive off a dealers lot. Why start with a $60K truck you still are gonna end up dumping another $10-$20K to get it where you REALLY want it to be. If I wanted a drag queen I would be much happier with something like Nate put together with the blue side step truck. ( Hopefully he will have everything worked out soon) Love that truck. [/QUOTE]
