Kai,
You've got one hell of a nice truck to start with and for what it's worth, starting at 18, will make you a lot smarter than me when you get my age. My suggestion would be to go over the essentials, electrical, brakes, steering and overall make sure it's safe. Do you know body work or welding? I'd suggest clear coat the body and drive it. I mean, have fun with it and when money and time allows, go for the other upgrades you've suggested. good luck.
