Big deal. What's it look underneath? that's where the beauty lies. Also, if you were to replace it... what would it cost to replace? I see you mention that it's worth $2k after spending more than that on repairs--can you really replace this truck for $2k? if not, then it has higher value to you than it does anyone else, post-repairs.The body is BEAT. I'll have to post some pics of her.
I get your point, now is a good time to ditch it. I just don't see how you could replace it. Then again, if you have a good working 2500, maybe you have zero need for it, and, once gone, you're done. If that's the case, then I'll agree with you, time to bury it.

Let's see, I'm estimating around 40k/year in miles? At $3.30/gallon (I think that's what it's going for right now)
- 15mpg->$8,800/yr in gas
- 18mpg->$7,333
- 20mpg->$6,600
- 25mpg->$5,280
- 30mpg->$4,400
- 35mpg->$3,770
- 40mpg->$3,300
Of course, it wouldn't be BITOG if... a beat Crown Vic at 20-22mpg that you found for $2-3k. Then you'd have a car that'd last you a lifetime.
