what do you all think a truck similiar to this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...408126833&rd=1

with a fuel injected motor and an automatic with overdrive would get for gas milage.

The reason I ask is i'm getting sick of seeing my 98 GMC full size extended cab loose value every day. I figure I could build something like the one above but put a late model motor and tranny in it and have a truck that is just as reliable and just as efficient as my truck.

The good thing would be is it would hold its value. The reason I bought my 98 was it was reliable and efficient. I cant determine any reason why an old one couldnt be built the same way

Plus I think 71, 72 SWB 4X4's are sweet as hell.

thanks for the input
