With an entire donor car, all you need is a welder, cutting torch, soldering gun, heat shrink, and lots of imagination. Oh, and time. Not much extra money required.
Or sell the truck and get a smaller vehicle, unless of course you need a truck. Making a V8 Dakota get good fuel economy will be like squeezing cool-aid out of a watermelon. My V6 Escape is exactly the same way. Brutal on fuel even when I'm on my best driving behavior.
