If you could find one for about 7k with high mileage, take the remaining cash and use it to buy a newer, lower mileage motor. Then, with the extra available cash, replace parts as needed... It may sound like a hassle, but then, you wouldn't have a truck payment... Not having to shell out $400 per month would be pretty sweet...
