$600 for tires
$350-$750 for original-spec brake system
$150-$1000 spring/suspension parts
$200 front and rear wheel bearings

$100+ for good 6v battery
$50 for good 6v battery cables

$100 minimum for full engine tune-up parts and oil change, and oil/air filters (and new radiator coolant)

The above costs assume a useable radiator (and water pump & hoses), useable electrical system, and good/safe steering parts, and that you do not care about body/cab seals, and exterior paint (and ignore any rust-out in cab, doors, fender, etc).

Use whatever bed it comes with.

Assume you have a good starter, generator, and voltage regulator (and, useable wiring).

Plus: the cost of the truck/shell that gets you started on this project.
