I seriously wanted a 3/4 ton but when buying used you take what you can get when you can get it. Most of what we looked at was pretty rough. The one 3/4 ton Burban we found had a tailgate instead of barn doors. It was a 100 mile round trip just to start looking at anything, and a month of Saturdays was overwhelming when the wife/kids want to take an out of state trip soon ...

But that was 18 years ago so I guess we did okay. It just needs some TLC now.
