Hell, even a Florida truck. I am all about the "no rust" trucks. I turned wrenches in a "salt on the roads" state, KC, Mo. and when I moved to Oregon in 1995, it was Nirvana here with no rust.I own a 2004 Silverado K2500HD 6.0 crew cab with no rust. I love it and has 118K miles on it and I paid $16k for it only because it had new tires and because the seller is the father of a shop owner friend of mine and I know his work ethic.If you look hard enough, I think you can find a better stock height deal. Thankfully you have mechanical skills. IMO, the "50% value" thing is the history of the vehicle paperwork.Please keep posting finds here for our opinions. I certainly look forward to it.</blockquote>
