I ran some numbers on my '37 GMC(not done before) and slightly have under $3,000. By trading a 6bt I got from a dead bus for $500. For a 453T, getting a dead P3500 school bus, using both axles w/ disc brakes, Saginaw pump, steering, Hydroboost, got $500. Scrap for the remainder. Most parts from scrap dealers. Not finished yet, but drives, everything works.
