At $3K, he'd have to take another $2k off asking to be in the ballpark, ESPECIALLY since it's not even 4WD (terrible resale).
I started off with a filter setup similar to what you're proposing but after seeing how much grease the centrifuge pulled out of my supposedly 2 micron oil, I couldn't in good conscience recommend anything but a centrifuge. PA Biodiesel has some good centrifuge prices and if you source a pump motor, you won't be too much above the price of filters, especially since you'll have to replace the filters and never have to replace the centrifuge.
Do you already have oil? If so, I would (and you might find others near you) be wiling to trade you W83 for your dirty oil until you definitively know if this is something you want to do. I'll be in Mich this weekend for the Dream Cruise, otherwise I'm in the Buffalo, NY area (about 280 miles from Detroit).
As for the truck, here's some MI Craigslist listings for comparison:
