Even more awesome in person
Years now I've been on the fence of selling my 2006 Silverado SS Intimidator (the Redneckinator) - it's a great truck and has been really reliable (other than the 4L65E) but I've just never fallen in love with it. I've got too much invested in it to even think about but it should sell for decent money, most of which I'd just stash in the bank for other purposes, and buy a beater truck.
Which brings me to the beater truck. It'd have to be a daily driver, and I have very specific desires when it comes to what I'll spend money/effort on:
Gotta be 1992-1994, and 1994 is probably the year I'd go for most.
ECSB fleetside, or RCSB/RCLB fleetside. No ECLB; won't fit in the garage. No stepsides.
No 4WD's. I'm strictly a RWD guy on trucks, and it'll get lowered.
350/automatic only, not interested in diving into engine swaps.
Hoping to find one with good gray cloth interior.. I've seen a few out there still.
Oh, and gotta be PW/PL/tilt/cruise/etc. optioned truck. No base models.
2K-4K on the price for a running/driving truck. They're out there..
I've seen a few contenders for sale so far but nothing that has seriously grabbed me. For a while I was hunting C2500 7.4's but it would have to be a Suburban or a RCLB, any other version of a 2500 won't fit in the garage. As much as I'd like the durability of the 7.4/4L80E/9.5, I haven't been able to find any that fit my narrow criteria.
Thoughts? I already know I'm nuts.
