Others will chime in as well. If it were my truck, I would pull both heads and replace both head gaskets. Depending on the year of your truck and how many accessories are hanging off it, it's really not a difficult job. If you are mechanically inclined give it a shot. As far as a shop, I wouldn't venture a guess. You should be able to do it in a weekend. A good straight edge would tell you if the heads and/or the block are warped.
