Thanks for all the info everyone. 

Its early in the game for me to buy but never too early to look and learn.

I don't need the truck now but by the end of the year ill be wanting one bad.

My other thought was a deuce and a half. They're going for 9-20k, huge payload, nobody else here has one and they're bad ass :)

Time will tell.

What he means is that, if either had a Toyota badge on the front, they'd be the greatest invention since the dry clutch  [cheeky]

Not quite everything.



These were really fun to try and wholesale into Denver and Wyoming back in the day.  :P

Why would that be a problem?

I imagine it would make it harder to load and unload the bed. Especially if you're dealing with extremely heavy items that necessitate having the capacity of a vehicle like that...

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

Nothing was wrong with it.  It was just expensive.  I own pretty much what my 1/2 ton is worth so I'd loose out if i traded.

I did more research on the M35's and I may seriously look for a bobbed M35A3 which has the higher horse power turbo diesel and Allison auto trans.  Or maybe a stock one and I'll bob it.
