Webstershotrods, I paid $2500 for the truck. It ran (barely). I did most of the engine/mechanical work myself, so that cost wasn't too bad. Runs great now!
The body work cost me $5500.
That included sandblasting all of it, taking off the bed, doors, fenders, grille, bumper and hood; fixing dents, welding in a new right-side cowl panel with the heater inlet louvers, replacing all window rubber (I had previously bought the new rubber), and painting/reassembling it.
I also had to buy new tyres last year to get it inspection legal (and safe)here in UT. And the tailgate is new too.
