Do it up the way you want it. Yeah there will be normal wear and tear stuff going out on you like ball joints, etc. But I've got friends with the 4.7 V8 in their Grand Cherokees who have well over 200,000 miles on the engines.
So, if that's your fear at only 64k, I'd not give it a second thought...

A truck is worth what you think its worth. If you want to keep it and fix it up...do it.

Anything older than 05 should be dropped off at the junkyard...
Anything newer than 05 should also be dropped off at the junkyard...


But, seriously, there are people still modding trucks made in the 70's and 80's with 300K miles and more. The trick is to find a truck you really like, Stop caring about the value, Age and miles and make it something you like more.

An 02 is not old unless it has tons of miles, which yours doesn't. I say mod it.
