Should I replace my truck?

I Own a restaurant and catering company in Baltimore Maryland. We have 4 custom made catering trucks that cost apx. $35,000.00 each. Our oldest truck, a 94' dodge dakota with 110,000 miles and it is starting to have alot of problems. The transmission is starting to shift very roughly, it doesn鈥檛 have much acceleration. The hood is starting to rust, I need new ball bearings on the front two wheels, and just yesterday the rpm gauge started acting very weird and somestimes dosent move at all. My question, should I replace this truck with a new truck that will cost $37,000.00, or spend 10,000$ to totally overhaul the truck.

Well rather than spend $10,000 on overhauling that one,all you have to do is go and buy another small used truck and have the rear box swapped over.Then sell that truck and the bed off the other one and re-coupe some of your money.It would be a easy swap.Its a helluva lot cheaper than buying the whole set-up.Should I replace my truck?
if you already have the box for the back of the truck i would think you can buy a new truck without a bed and have the box you have installed on it for around 20k
