You have to assess your storage, desire to locate/retore the parts/ TIME to do it, etc. If you KNOW you have to spend at least 4500 to get it right, why not just pay someone for their restored truck, especially if TIME is not on your side.
Just an opinion. (and I do my own resto work, so don't think I wouldn't take it if I really wanted a project vehicle.) Good luck, WAW
