I'd just buy two upstream 02 sensors, get a couple of wrenches (and a shop manual for $15 if you need it) and replace the 02 sensors yourself. A special 02 sensor wrench can be used to make it a bit easier, but I've replaced mine twice with just regular tools.

Buy the sensors online for about $60 each. You can drive your truck with the light on for a few days until the sensors come in...or just buy them locally but don't pay too much for them.

Disconnect your battery for a bit to get rid of the code. Turn the lights on when the battery is disconnected to make sure you deplete power to the ECU. Should take like 5 minutes.
