And, my grandparents have a 1992 GMC 3/4 ton for sale, 2WD, extended cab, but it's a 454 with a Banks Power Pack. Makes about 350 hp and 550 ft./lbs., but the best I could talk them down to for you, my close personal friend, is $6500 or so. They're looking for $7500 and in no hurry to sell. |
Interesting. My goal is a truck for towing... so I don't figure to need 4WD or a long bed or anything. Plus it won't get used around town too much, mostly just for track days when driving the WRX long distance is uncomfortable, or impossible (like to Topeka and back if I can make Nationals). So as long as it's good for a few long hauls a year, I won't be putting too much beating on it.
I wanted a quad-cab just because they're so much nicer for 3+ people... I figure this will be a road-trip machine, and I'd like to be able to haul you butt-heads around with me w/o having to listen to ya'll complain from the drop seats.
I'm in no real rush... I just figure I need something before Nationals, and that's only if I can go at all. Hopefully by then I'll have my car paid off and my credit card balances well reduced (or vise versa) so I might be able to finance the truck, which puts me in the $7 to $10k range for a truck + trailer.
