i'm not sure about newer chevs, but the older styles (late 80s and into the 90s) were well known for nasty transmissions
my truck is an '89 chev ck1500 - i replaced my transmission back in '97 and the transmission guy said that it was not the original tranny.... mind you, the transmission that went in back in '97 is still in my truck today and it still works great
if i was you, i'd definitely be looking at at least a '2500' series truck.
a buddy of mine down in vancouver has a newer 2500 ford (i'd guess 2009) and uses it for hauling a 5th wheel - he says it has tons of power for what he needs. my dad has a 2000 chev 2500. it's got the vortec v8 engine and it's also got lots of power.
