17 y/o needing advice from the truck legends

[jmon1123]

There also could be a part of me that wants an older chevy, but my main issue is my situation. Strict parents, a lot of work to be done, afraid to spend money, nowhere to work on it, especially since I'm in a strict neighborhood. I've had impound slips and notes written all over my truck, blah blah blah

I could just be overthinking a lot of this, but any info I get helps a lot.
