Brad,
I add a comment on the "maintenance"...
With any of these trucks, there's always going to be 'some' maintenance so either you should like twisting a wrench from time to time.. or consider that is your budget... IF you can find a local, experienced shop.
Most of all, have fun and enjoy the resotration process. Take pics and get involved. And share your experience with us.
Good luck.
