Definitely time to find some friends who have pickups.
Don't get too discouraged. The summer before I turned 16 I worked my butt off and put $1,000 together to buy my '57. I payed for it the weekend of my 16th birthday in September. The truck needed a roll back to get to my house so I had to save up a couple hundred more during part of the school year to get my truck home. Luckily I bought it from a close family friend who didn't care how long t took to get it gone. I got it home in March of the following year. It was an agonizing wait but it taught me patience and the satisfaction of doing it all on my own. I still have that old beast working on 15 years later.
It'll come to you. In the meantime you can plan and dream and look forward to what is to come.
