Sell it to someone with a big camper or boat that needs a low mileage, if not rough looking, tow vehicle.

Bottom line is it is still a 20 year old truck, and even with low mileage, is still 20 years old. Best off cleaning it up and selling it. And as fuel prices rise yet again, its going to be a hard sell.

If I wanted to ask for opinions on what I should be doing with the truck itself, I would have asked... but I didn't. I specifically asked what areas to look for before I start DRIVING it because I have a use for it. That's why this thread is in the General Tech forum

I drive big rigs for a living. So don't preach that this truck is too big to drive around town
