I did some work on my 98 Chevy 2500, repaired a fuel tank strap, oil change and just looked the truck over good. It's been in Mi it's whole life so it's getting the cancer bad. So here's the question do I repair it this summer or replace it?
It has 244,000 miles on it and would need a replacement box, inner and outer cab corners, LF rear cab mount on the bottom of the cab, inner and outer rocker panels, doors, fenders, paint, drivers seat foam and cover repaired, timing cover( seal is leaking and it's the throwaway plastic cover).
My thought is repair all this, replace the truck with a newer Chevy or Dodge 3/4 ton 4X4 and mount my plow or find a southern truck with a good Ext cab body with eng or trans problems and put cab and all sheetmetal on my 4x4 frame. Any thoughts? Comments?
