I think you're on the right track as long as you can get a 308 for cheap. Might take a while to save the two or $300 if you have to buy one, depending on how often you drive the truck, but if you keep it I would imagine you'll get there. I have a 308 open that I'd trade you, but we'd end up spending way too much money on freight. If you can wait a couple summers, I might be able to bring it down to C10s in the park. What do you think about letting us know what you find and how it works out?
