he wanted a shortbox 3/4 ton diesel and GM does not make such a thing. If you're talking about standard cab pickups, I don't know if I've seen a short box 3/4 ton of any make. I know that there are plenty of 3/4 ton Ford and Dodge diesels out there in club cab and crew cab configurations.

HUH? Most of the 3/4 ton diesels are short box. Mine is a short box, I wish it was a long bed If you get a short box, you get a long cab. They don't put a short cab and a short box together, not that I've seen. The wheelbase may be too short for stability or something. -- Jim

Update. I went over to see they guy this morning and he put it up on the rack for me. He had driven the car and looked things over, noticing a number of fuel and vacuum irregularities, but heard the creaking and addressed none of them. He will not do work on a car with a cracked frame rail.

I suspect it would have to be on the high side of $1000 for me to flinch too much. If it's just cracked metal that isn't all rusty, the welding should be fairly straightforward if it can be reached easily. Try not to mention your top price to the guy when getting a quote! -- Jim
