I could buy a v8 dakota for about $4-5k and it seems like it would be A LOT less work
Perhaps, but it would also be a dodge..

I suppose i'd be interested in it, since it would be cool. Its hard to think badly of dodges when you've got a friend whos a mopar guy. Its too bad GM never put a v8 in the S trucks.

I'm looking to get rid of the camaro since I have 3 vehicles at the moment. I have a ranger i'm using to commute. The Jimmy's only purpose is for snow, and if i need to drive with more than one person. The camaro is my toy, but isn't really necessary to have. If I had only 2 vehicles to worry about I think i'd be better off. If I have a nice 4x4 truck with a bit of power to it, it would fill that gap of toy/snow truck

There's nothing wrong with mopars. Again it's up to you I have thought several times about keeping my old dodge that with a rebuilt motor and properly tuned would still get the same milage as my blazer. Either way I'm still getting great mileage (18-19 mpg in town) and I have plenty of power.
