Id sell all your toys and buy a 94-97 not a 4x4 and a 5 speed would be better the 518's, they suck and all get rebuilds the nv3500 is no nv4500 but still not a 518. the powersteering probably leakes and things might need fixed, small stuff, but if u look around u should be able to find one with less than 100k and i wouldnt pay more than 5k ive seen 1997's with 75k go 4 under $5,000.00 just remember 12mpg. and ur insurance rates will go up.
I paid 5500 for mine 2 years ago put 3k into a rebuild, tires and new parts, still need a few more things fixed but there avalible at the junk yards and easy to work on (besides the distributor) and lots of room. mine is a Club cab love it. Dont buy a 4x4 u dont need it (u probably have more than 4 inches) u dont have to prove it. more sh!t to break more insurance fees, and worse mpg. remember more options more potential problems. my gas guage is broken, reverse light, heater cable and a small oil leak and that ps pump. only thing that i wish i had would be suicide doors and green paint teal is ok i guess.
I towed a car and probably 4000k lbs of stuff from phoenix to boise and a packed u haul trailer seattle to indianapolis no problems but it aint no cummins.

Check on insurance first, but if u can get the mortgage for under $200.00 month get it.
