If you're going to use it as a truck gun, a DIY refinish would be the best approach IMO. It needs to be protected, and there's no need to spend a ton'o'money on a working gun as far as I can see. If you DIY, you can re-do as needed over time.

Congrats on getting a good solid gun at a good price- now try to wear it out! 8^)
