I'm assuming you paid 35k after the trade in? If not that's a great deal I would like to know what dealer you used.

I bought it new in 06 and drove it hard on a lot of gravel.. Dalton Hwy several times, Alcan hwy twice, and everywhere else. The Chevy was awesome, only a couple of injectors, ball joints, brakes and shocks... Figured it was easier to just trade it in than to sell outright.... I will miss that truck - a lot of good memories for sure and alot of dead animals rode home in the bed.... It was just that the mileage was becoming a problem in my mind @250,000 and the fact I hate working on vehicles and did want to spend time at the shop when things start going bad, as it is always a snow ball effect. No matter what engine I had, it was still an 8 year old Chevy with a lot of hard miles..... And of course wanted new....
That is good to know I've heard good things about the Chevy's for the most part. I had an 01 Cummins I loved it but hated that darn 4 speed auto just not enough gears for the fairly short power curve of a Cummins, it seemed to me every time I towed it was either screaming up in the RPM or lugging with no boost and egt's were shooting through the roof. The new 6 speed is leaps and bounds ahead of the ol 4 speed auto. It seems to always put the rpm in the sweet spot at any speed limit something they should have done with auto's years ago.
Are you going to leave it stock, power wise?

Added some Bushwhacker fender flares and some rails to step up (Wife's request).... Ordering a cab for the back and not another cent to be added, well maybe a new front bumper and find someone to paint rear and grill black... Really an anti-chrome person...
I have grown to hate chrome!
Especially on the older flat bumper fords that reflect your headlights right back in your face.
Trucks look so much better with black detail instead of chrome.
It only took US vehicle makers 30+ years to get rid of the god-awful two-tone grey paint and fake wood like plastic, I figure another twenty will get rid of the cheesy plasticky chrome accents.
LOL
Nice truck!
