Definitely FB marketplace but download all the more known car apps but also check/call a few dealerships around you to see if anyone has turned in a 400 on trade in or when driving around and you spot a good one see if they’d be willing to sell you it? Just make sure they’re not on here first hince what SYN said they’ll not be interested in selling hahaha!!!

If you're in the market for a GMT400, Facebook Marketplace would probably be your best bet. I tried numerous used car sites — because I did not have a Facebook account when I began my search — and it was just painful. (Word of advice: do NOT use Autotrader.) Probably within a day or so of creating a new Facebook account (I had one in the past but deleted it), I found my GMT400 in Arkansas and contacted the owner immediately. It took some coordination on my part and patience on the owner's part, but it was a success.

Be mindful that there are scammers out there, so sellers might not be as responsive as you like, because they assume you're just another scammer. Be persistent to demonstrate you're sincerely interested.

Be willing to travel to buy it. You probably don't want to buy one that has lived its life in the rust belt.

Inspect it or have someone inspect it (there are companies out there that perform used car inspections on your behalf) before buying it. Do NOT buy it without first inspecting it.

Be ready to make a deal fast when you find one. They go quick. Cash4Clunkers really depleted the market of GMT400s. It's a sad reality.

By the way, the 4th gen Silverados are sweet! I'm in love with the 2019+ Silverados that have the 10L80 10-speed transmission. I'll probably wait about 10 years to get a used one myself.
I'm for sure willing to travel, I'm willing to go out west to the end but east the furthest is likely Indiana. I'm willing to go out to Arkansas and Tennessee and everywhere in between those.
Whatever you do, don't answer an ad with "Is this still available?". Personalize your message so they know it's not a scammer.
I have a small list of things for me to ask about from what I gathered. Mostly on rust and most problems even if they are minuscule because they could turn out to be a much larger problem.

It also seems that FB Marketplace is the way to go, along with the normal car dealer sites. I know that people may trade in something and I could go to the dealer and make an offer on it.

But at the end of the day YOU HAVE TO SEARCH for what you want!! Nobody’s just going to show up an say you wanta buy this truck off me it takes work looking for a good 400 that someone’s not asking 10k plus money for and that’s worth forking over your money to buy start askin older gents some of them never gave up they’re 400’s due to no payments and not dealing with computer issues that basically makes you a dealer regular that newer trucks have now when they show up let alone changing out parts that wear oil/tps’/recalls etc.
