Guys Vermont does not title cars that are over 15 years old. No car that i have bought on this channel had a title if it was over 15. Thats just how we do it here. No title required to own or register

I owned a 2004 Silverado with a Duramax . It honestly was not a bad truck. However when I used it the way I needed to use a truck it didn't meet my requirements. It was also due for the injectors and the top end work and I did not have the money to repair that. You should find out if that is an LBZ or an LBY Duramax. I think what I miss most about that truck was the Allison Transmission. If I were you I would keep the Duramax and get rid of the gaser as you'll do better towing with the diesel than you will the gaser.

with a clean frame do the rockers right, buy a used drivers side back door. Not the cover up that you usually do for rust. the steel kits cheap and I am sure you can find a local welder to weld them in right then undercoat them and bedline the bottom of the doors and rocker. at that point decide to keep or sell it. Those hold value well .

the diesel far outweighs the gas though in the long run, this duramax gets better fuel mileage than an S10 and has way more capabilities. and as an owner of a diesel for almost 5 years now i can tell you they do NOT cost more to fix and maintain once you factor in the fuel savings and how long they last. not to mention 210k on them is literally nothing
