Good Evening Folks.

Hello my fellow peoples.
My name is Matt and I am 17 years old, turning 18 in November.
I live in the wonderful state of Alaska and in the beautiful city of Anchorage.
I don't own a truck but I am in the market for one and joined this forum to find some advice when I find a potential truck.
I've been looking to buy a truck for over a year and on three occasions a truck has been bought out from under me. It sucks big time but I shall not give up. I've expanded my search into the Portland and Seattle area, figure I could drive it back up if I find one. Heard its a nice drive in the summer on the Al-Can highway.

I like that emoticon...

Forgot to add that I love Chevrolet/GMC trucks!
My dream is to own a SS Silverado and a diesel.

But for now, I'm looking for a Chevy/GMC 1500 4x4 with a 4.8L V8 or V6 if its a single cab. Or a nice Toyota Tacoma.
