Lots of good advice already dispensed here although this may be some of the best. ^^^

The rig you have with its quirks combined with the limited means to repair it the way you want could be a big distraction from what your primary job at this point in life is right now...namely doing the best you can in school and graduating. If you're already doing well in school and have a little extra time, try and find a job that will work with your schedule so you can make a little extra scratch and save that scratch! Maybe find a shop that needs someone to clean up in the afternoons?

Patience is key though. By the time you've got the school thing hemmed up and the side job going well, you'll have a good start on the truck that might be more to your liking and ability to make progress on. One thought out step at a time. Before you know it you'll be rocking the wheels that you were looking for.

A lot of times discipline and holding off on "impulses" can put you in a way better position to succeed in the not so long run. As we say with motocross, "pick your line and run it out".

You sound like a smart young man and I don't doubt for a second that you'll pick the right direction at the crossroads you're at. Good luck and let us know how it works out!
