When you have to have something, money is no object. I've wasted more money than that over the years just buying parts for old trucks. I'm kind of a perfectionist so when I decide to fix something I fix it right, cost be damned. I've got way more money in my daily driver than it cost to buy, but that's the way of the old truck life. I would say if you like the truck and the price won't hurt your finacial situation, buy it. What ever you buy will always end up costing you a whole lot more in the long run.
There's my 2 cents,
Scott
