i would like a 4cyl turbo diesel/6spd auto in a crew with a 6'box. i want the dependability of a toyota (i am not going to argue this point! they win if your comparing 88' up, i dont care what you drive this is my post smile ). i would like a chevy ride. ford undercarriage and a cummins motor/allison tranny (i know isuzu etc but again it is my post).

call it a heavy half with decent brakes (drum in back please) and a good tow rating. keep the weight down at the 1/2 ton mark. i would like 25-30 hwy. i would like not to see any rust for 5 years (listening chevy?) i dont need a zillion horsepower. in fact if my top speed was 85 i would be happy forever (geared down with a tall 5/6 gear).

i can put 6 people in it.tow a reasonable sized trailer. i can fit tools in the box (carpenter). and, i can afford to drive it as a primary vehicle.....

dont want a 1/2 ton claiming to be a 3/4. dont want a 8000lb truck to haul my tools/small trailer around.

simple...

woofer


"I would build one again, if it were not for my 350RM (grin)."
