One thing, if you want a loan it will come with higher interest than a regular car loan because it will be unsecured unless it's against something like a house that you own.
That said, I'm still driving my old '85 C10. Just blew out a muffler and needs an idler arm kit, but it looks better with the nice chrome 20's.
My dream is to buy a rolled or totalled 2007 or better with the 5.3 or better yet a 6.0 and change the frame, engine, and all the running gear and electronics. My old '85 isn't AC'd and the heater is lame especially in the summer LOL. My '85 weighs 3800 or so, the new x-cab I bought (yucchhh) is around 5100. If I get lucky and buy one that doesn't suck oil like my 2007 it should really move AND deliver 20MPG+ if driven half sensibly.
An added bonus, you could use it as a truck.
