From the looks of the pictures and descriptions, I would fork over the $2500 before someone else snags it. Whether you are planning on making it a daily driver or a total restoration, you have a lot of going-over to do mechanically. It looks like most of the truck is original equipment or close to it, which makes fixing it easier since you don't have to undo someone else's modifications.
