looks like the guy with the blue truck has some money so he probably took good care of it, either pickup would be awesome to own I have a feeling you'd be happier with the blue one except it costs alot more however it's also alot nicer

Depends what you're looking for...???...???

Myself, I don't need a flatbed, but the blue one has a bunch of **** on it that I don't like.

Forcing to choose...I would take the blue one but you're kinda askin' for advice without tellin' us what yer lookin' for....


???

Thats just it... I could use the Flat bed, And would love to have a Manual Tranny and would like to save the money... But I dont have to have the flat bed, Also Heard that the NON, IC is a bad thing?? Not counting the High miles....


The Blue truck has a great look but I dont want the 35 tires at most 31's and the AUTO I dont know much about 1st gens what can the Auto handle??? Bu up side is its a CLEAN CLEAN Truck with pretty low miles and its pretty clear its a pamperd truck...


Guess my biggest deal is, AUTO or Manual, and I/C or NON I/C??? and the main thing... Higher or Lower Cash Amount

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

P.S. more then likly would keep them stock for a while to... Just want a Sweet 1st Gen I think both a really good trucks...

If you could use a flatbed...then you probably want a truck that just miiight get scratched. Not definitely, but maybe.

Sure would suck to scratch that purty blue one....and white is easy to fix.


Non-intercooled just means you're limited on performance mods, which the 1st Gens are to a point anyways unless you want to spend a bunch of money.

The "gut bag" (Getrag slang) 5 speed manual is not too bad behind a stock engine. At that mileage you might have some issues, but hey any truck with 300k on it will have issues.

All in all looks like a relatively solid farm truck.



The blue truck is a pavement pounder....a fun truck but ultimately limited as a fair weather play toy. Just my opinion...


FWIW....from what you've said I would buy the white flatbed, based on pictures and your dissertation...

Cheers,

Dan

Thanks for the input guys, I knew most of ya would say the blue one i mean it just looks so damn good.

I just am so iffy on the auto Trans... Cuz Im going to pull Stock trailers, and some different bumper trailers, Maybe hual some hay an tractors with it every now and then. But if it is HEAVY we'll use the Dually.

I did have the 48 RE Auto in the 04 QC i had... I mean it worked good. But just wasnt same as a 6spd. But it never broke down either... I dont know anything about the autos in the 1st gen trucks tho, didnt know if they was junk or if they was fair/good. One of those deals i have 2nd and 3rd gens in stick, and 3rd gen auto, But never a 1st gen.
