I want an "every other" daily driver. I look around and see these (possibly) rich farmers with their 40,000 - 50,000 dollar crew cab dually diesel pickups and get jealous. I know I don't have to spend forty grand on this truck to make it great. I can spend money when I get money. But brakes are probably important, even in North Dakota!!

PS Those guys don't have a hydraulic dump bed!!

PSS So, the one in chevy duty won't work, as it is for small pickups. I asked before how important a brake booster is, and since I am not going to be loading it, and since it doesn't go fast, what use is the bendix? Do I have to fix the vaccuum? I don't care about wipers or two speed rearends. I will set it in high and forget it.

Anyway, I am not a mechanic, but am treating this as a learning experience project. I bought a fix it upper house, now this is my fix it upper truck!!

Thank you for your time and advice!! It is greatly appreciated!!
