That sucks Dan. I know how you feel. I had to get rid of my 68 Impala which I bought when I was 14 due to the Pa. rust taking it's toll.
I'd probably be looking for another '99-'02 to keep the drive-by-cable throttle body, but any GMT800 would probably be considered. We're still years away from this decision though, I'm going to drive this thing until it's unsafe.My condolences Dan.
What would you be looking for in the future? Another GMT800 or a 900?

Why buy new when you can restore?
That is a good point and something I should keep in mind should I ever decide to get a "newer" truck. Can't the drive-by-wire be converted back to cable?I'd probably be looking for another '99-'02 to keep the drive-by-cable throttle body, but any GMT800 would probably be considered.

Yes, but as far as I know you'd need the harness (and possibly PCM) from a DBC truck. It probably wouldn't bee too bad on a GMT800, but it just wouldn't be worth it on a GMT900 since they have the separate ECM and TCM, it's not like drive by wire is THAT bad.
