What's wrong with your truck (body damage or just worn parts)? Here in Germany, diesel is the popular choice for vehicles (especially pickups and SUV's) that drive any distance. The Mitsubishi L200's get 30+ MPG with a 130HP motor.
I had a F250 4x4 that I only used to make a 5 km loop twice a day to check on horses and bring a little hay (at 8 mpg). At the same tie, I have a 1 axle wagon for my tractor that hauls more and is easier to load and unload and a utility trailer for my car that holds an easy 20 bails of hay. I was hard headed for a couple of years and finally sold it to a German that had just got him a horse and some cowboy boots and needed a pickup to complete the package. Now, I use the utility trailer and my ATV for just about everything local, and bought a 97 KIA Sportage to satisfy the 4x4 need and better mpg.
Take your parts estimate (if they itemized) and go to rockauto.com and look up the parts, you may find it to be about a 3rd of what your estimate is. Then find a private mech to do the work. Just an idea.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
