You realize that's an absolutely horrible deal, right?
First you're not only paying what the truck is worth but you're also paying for repair and your own labor. you're effectively paying much, much more than the truck is even worth.
On top of that, blue book value is what you'd expect a used car lot to sell it for. If you're buying it private party you should only be paying about 80-90% of blue book, especially from your own mother.
Nothing against your mother but she's screwing you over. In the end you could buy the same vehicle for half the cost the one she's trying to sell you. I love my mother dearly but if she offered a deal to me like that I'd tell her to go stick it. Just a warning.
