Should I trade my 73 C20 for a 1998 Suburban

[Redfish]

So my truck needs quite a bit more work. Leaking oil, trans fluid, exhaust leaks, etc. Doable work but work nonetheless. It runs and shift great though.

This guy has a 1998 Chevy Suburban super clean with 60k miles, no problems. Should i trade?

If you are feeling a need to "upgrade" why not sell that C20 outright and take that money to buy something newer? I think this would be a rather lopsided trade if you compared price to price.

All the reasons all the learned folks above stated.

So, do you want a pickup or a bus? Do you want a classic or a throw away?

Haha you right, I realize more and more what i got. It needs a lot more work but Ill slowly chip away at it. Already fixed the tranny leak today.

Ayway, despite growing up around all this, I know shockingly little about the chemistry of oil refining. Refineries were just THERE, had always been there, like the sooty orange sky and the constant smell of tar and asphalt. It never occurred to me that someday I would need to BUILD MY OWN REFINERY on the down-low just to have things like gasoline, diesel, and naptha, because the US had become an idiot dystopia. In fact, I'm going to grab my hardbound CRC Handbook of Chemistry & Physics right now, stash it someplace safe.

This is where my mind is going these days, too. I've discussed it multiple times with friends but don't know the first thing about refining gasoline.

Let me know when you got it dialed in and I'll come out to CA for some training.
