Overall this truck was what I was looking for as a strong foundation with the initial investment of $2700.00. It has taken work on minor things but that's what I enjoy about it...it's old enough even I can work on it! 
Plan to continue to maintain it as a "keeper" with occasional "upgrades" knowing what a new one would cost. I figure I have a long way to go before I even make it half the value of a new one! 
Pic of the day it came home:
And a pic from a couple of months ago in a "working mode"... 
As the budget allows I'll just keep "updating" as I have, and like we all tend to do, but it will always be a 'working' truck...at least that's what I tell the wife. Yet no law saying it can't look as good as it runs.
