Junk it or fix it?

Have the factory Toyota quarters to weld on, but I learned it also needs a gas tank and lines/filter running up to the motor, after pulling it. sparky-sparky-bad and didn't want to risk an explosion.

Choices:
Fix it: tons of time I don't have, $150 for a gas tank. NET: Will be a decent truck for awhile more, I cargo and tow capacity are perfect, BMW sport seats and steering wheel make it a joy to drive. Fuel economy sucks. to make it a nice truck, I would need new front fenders ($40 each) and bumpers.


Junk it: Could make about $500 on the truck as it sits, maybe more. then I need to find another, similar vehicle in the sub-$1500 price range that will take time, and $ to get on the road: registration, taxes, commercial lettering on door...but I may end up with an overall nicer truck.
