Well last year at this very time I was looking for a Chevy pick up to take over for my beloved full size Blazer that was rusting away.

I could not find a Chevy that was in my price range or that looked sound.
So as a old Ford guy I thought I would try them again.

Which lead me to by a 1999 Ford F150 and I was happy about my buy!

But not for long in less then one year I added $1,000+ in repairs and it still needs $1,700 more!!
Well I have had it!

So with one week to go before my year was up I traded the %$%$%$%$ box and have come back from the dark side and now own a Chevy!!

It is a 2002 Chevy Z71 4X4 4.8 Vortec engin Ext Cab with seating for 6. Has a 6 1/2 bed with a roll n lock cover.
I hope it will last me a long while!!

Nice, good luck. I hate vehicles. My next door neighbor has 28 Clydesdales and I am ready to rent them for towing purposes. Paul

Nice truck! However, the 6.0 is not available in the 1/2 ton trucks, you have either a 4.8 or a 5.3.

I recently traded in my 2000 Silverado extended cab on a Nissan Titan crew cab. I would have bought the new Chevy 1/2 ton crew cab but the deal on a similarly equipped Nissan was $3000 less. The Chevy dealer didn't want to give me as much on the trade-in!

Heck, all of the new trucks are real nice!
