Congratulations on your GMC purchase!

It certainly sounds like a good deal.  It is not easy to find decent
vehicles these days for less than $4000.  

I'm not in the market for a vehicle, but do watch the prices of Monte
Carlos, Trans AMs, and a few other cars.  I wouldn't mind buying one that
is in perfect condition and everything works, but has a blown motor.  If it
could be purchased cheap enough, it would be worth dropping a rebuilt motor
in there.  

My wife is probably going to buy a new car in the next year or so.  We will
then have the truck as a spare - which is always handy to have.

Did you have to get the GMC inspected before you transfered the title?  In
MD you have to do that - and they typically ding you for a few odds and
ends.
