Ok here is the deal. I bought a pewter 2000 RCSB base model truck. It has the 4.3 v6, manual locks and windows. I thought these things wouldnt be too big of a deal to live w/o pl and pw but it is. it lacks power and i can barley reach the pass window let alone do it while im driving. So these things i feel must be replaced. So here is the question should i upgrade these options on this truck or would it be more cost effective to just go out and find another truck w/ these options already on? Im kind of torn on what to do. all imput is appreciated.

Id stick with the manual stuff if I could do it again, simply and easy to fix, alot less chances of something going wrong with it

well im not concerned as much about the pl/pw option but the motor that will kill me. I would need to purchase it with pcm new motor mounts etc plus on top of all that get a beater car while i do the swap. So im leaning twards buying one w/ a 5.3 and going from there because its going cost thousands plus insurance on a 2nd vehicle blah blah blah. Im still not quite sure though.

stick with your truck and mod it slow. You will save a lot of money if you build a stout 6.0 while you drive around with your 4.3, then if you get fucked trading it back in and starting all over.
