Don't know if it's in your budget or not but have you considered a 4th gen? They are pretty sweet (if you can afford them lol).

And lets hope you don't need any ******* for that bowtie of yours :P j/k lol.

They started in 98 as an option as the club cab was still offered. In 00 it was standard on the extended cabs.

This must not have been a 2000 then. They probably got that wrong like the mileage. Lol

4WD Shifter indicates it's 98 to 01, knowing second gen styles. I'm with Hey you, it would make a good donor. K.

I max out my Roth IRA every year, and at work, I put 12% in a retirement account and I get a 100% match on that. I hope to be able to retire early.

BTW Gary, what happened to your 2nd gen truck? Did you take it off any sweet jumps?

Smart move for retirement. Don't turn down free money.

My Second Gen was destroyed by a passing tornado last May.

You could get an extended cab without rear doors up until 2000. 2001 they stopped the club cabs, and only made Quads. The 2000 model year club cabs were probably just extra shells they still had, hence why there were very few of them after around 99.

Nope, 2000 Was the final year. This random truck can be used as an example.

The VIN number shows that it is in fact a club cab (7th Digit is a 2, Quad cabs 7th digit is a 3) and the Model year is a 2000 (10th digit is a Y).
