Had to chuckle.

Holy grail? Mine would be a 1987 GMC 3/4 ton, 4.3 700R4 cruse tilt air with manual locks, in blue or silver thank you. Just because.

I think my 87 6.2 diesel longbed with every option except bed lamp is probably 'rare'. And not particularly desirable.

My 81 GMC 3/4 ton with HD cooling, locking rear diff, sliding rear window and NO other options (including lack of power steering, and has power brakes only because it's a 3/4 ton) in Carmine Red is a lot rarer. Who else has a 3/4 ton with 250CID, 3OTT, no rear bumper or spare tire or radio, no power steering, and factory sport mirrors (cause they were actually cheaper..)?
