Wife and kids keep telling me to trade in my '02 Silverado 4wd. I've had all the issues that plagued GM trucks of that era: Fuel injection systems were crap. Replaced with multi-port. Ran OK but then a major coolant leak. Yup, the lower intake manifold gaskets rotted away. Common problem on GM 4.3L engines. Luckily, I could do the job myself. Cost me about $65 for parts and coolant. Don't want to think what a repair shop would charge, let alone a dealer. It runs pretty good with 129k miles now, fairly low mileage for a 12 yr old truck.
And.... I bought it used 10 yrs ago w/ 47k miles on it and paid $13k which I thought was a lot at the time. It's a "Work Truck" 5-speed with none of the whistles/bells (except AC). Fewer things to break on it. Don't think they even build "Work Trucks" anymore.
I don't worry about running it through the brush and trees scratching the side or getting the seats full of "wet dog" smell after the dogs romp through the pond. Heck, seats have been drenched in blood a couple of times by injured dogs. Told my wife to use the bed of it as my casket.

My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
