Price a new truck, then a rebuilt engine, with the good heads, or even a "crate engine". As I write I am finishing up a 2001 ram van for the shop, $2000 in it so far and it has ONE computer. Drives and runs fine, paint bad, (185,000), all it cost me now is gas and basic insurance. Don't care if you can take a new one off taxes, that payment still comes out of pocket each month.
