Hey Patrick, I say go for the sub. You don't need the third seat anytime soon, there's lots of time for that. Most of us aren't restoring for the money, it's a passion for these trucks. It's likely cheaper to spend a bit more for a complete finished truck than to restore one yourself. The journey is the challenge. If you need help, you know where to go now, we even provide moral support. And best wishes on the new arrival!
