I've the the exact same truck, albeit rustier. Mine was a city/village vehicle; hour meter in the fan shroud is just under 4900, odometer is about 122000. We just did top end gasket kit due to broken exhaust manifold studs and spark plugs that we couldn't get out. My research from this project indicates that there was indeed a valve seat issue with this era of the 5.9 gasser. I also found that Summit Racing has replacement heads for about $365 + $100 core, Rock Auto has them for $255 + $75 core. Complete engine gasket kit is $115 from Rock Auto; we did a new timing chain as well, so this made more sense for the job as opposed to a top end only kit. My heads were good, so I've got a couple hundred dollars in pats and a few days' work into it. Can you clarify how yours needs $3500 worth of work? If that's an accurate price for repair, I'd look awful hard at a crate engine.
If you're anywhere near A&I Balancing in Concord, MI they're the best place around for any type of driveline/power shaft work. The last front driveshaft I had done a couple years ago (for a Jeep Grand Cherokee) was $120.

After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
