If your state is like NC there is a way to get rid of the salvage title and get a "clean" one for it. The only way I know of the salvage title will hurt you is insurance wise if it's in an accident. I ran into that problem with a '88 F150 some years back. It had been in a minor accident but the insurance totaled it and gave me several thousand for it. There was no sheet metal damage, so I spent $500 to have a friend rebuild the transmission (the wreck had caused the tail shaft housing to crack at the mount) and put a bumper on it, and put it back on the road. When someone else ran into me again a few years later, and it actually did get totaled, it still looked and ran great, no oil usage, no smoke, no mechanical problems at all and the interior was still in good shape. Because of the salvage title they didn't want to give me but something like $1000 for a truck that was still going for $4000 (give or take) at the time. Since I had other transportation at the time I held out on them for over a year until they were desperate to settle and gave me what I needed to actually get another truck comparable to it.
That said, if your not planning to sell it I wouldn't worry about anything but only problem you might have with it is with an insurance claim...
