John your buying at the highest demand time of the year for used car/trucks, spring and income taxes return time. So you not going to find many "deals" right now. IF both trucks are automatics then I would not even think about the 4.3 if your going to haul anything or pull anything. I have owned two 4.3 1/2 ton trucks. The first was a five speed and was a great truck. The second was an automatic and it was a pure DOG!!! I only kept it for six months or so. SO if they are automatics then go with the 4.8, it is a much better motor with little difference in the fuel mileage.
As for the GMC and Chevy??? They are the same truck although the GMC will book slightly lower. City people think work/company trucks when they see GMC so they will not pay as much money for a used GMC compared to Chevy. The fact they are a work truck does limit the market just a little. Them having them since last fall does not mean much. The fall/winter is the low demand months. So it will not factor much in the dickering. Now if they still have one of them come late summer/fall them you could use that to drive get a better deal.
Also pickups are in higher demand than cars. Especially plain Jane ones "value" ones. IF the dealership was smart they would fancy them trucks up with some add on trim and they easily could drive the price up several thousand dollars with a few hundred dollars of pin strips and chrome.
A good friend of mine sells used vehicles an he watches for these work trucks. HE can buy them cheaper than the trimmed out trucks. He then details the out side and might add a higher grade seat out of a wrecked truck this adds alot to the value. HE says he can make more on the plain trucks fancies up over any other vehicle he sells.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
