My daily driver is a 2009 Accord EX-L V6 coupe 6 speed stick with 180,000 miles. I've owned it since new and it's very reliable. But owning a home and needing more room and easier ingress/egress for my Parents as I'm helping them more now, I am considering replacing it with a pickup.

But not just any pickup - I'd love an early-mid 2000s Silverado or Sierra HD 2500 with the 8.1 V8 and manual transmission if I could find one. I know the 8.1 is a rare breed but if I can find one that isn't completely roached out and has around 150,000 miles I'd love it. If not I'll settle for the 6.0 but man, that's almost 500 cubic inches!! Big block, old school muscle lol

Anyone familiar with those? Anyone know of anyone selling one?
