With out seeing it I'd say 2k just because you can tell someone it has low miles and new everything but at the end of the day we get little to nothing from the stuff we invest in a vehicle except for the rare occasion where someone just has to have it please don't think I'm down playing your truck I bet it's nice but no one likes paying top dollar for used no matter how well it's been cared for
Now let's see them pics

It sounds like it has a lot going for it. Kind of hard to put a value on older vehicles. Make the asking price above what satisfies you. You can always go down.

The unfortunate aspect is few buyers will appreciate the new parts and work you've done. As a general rule of thumb, vehicles are a poor investment. You might consider keeping it for a year to reap the benefits / reliability from all those new parts. Also give us another year to convince you to keep it.☺

Unless you really need the space or the money I'd keep it. Look what the 60s trucks are going for, even for ratty ones. These trucks are on the cusp between just an old used trucks and being classics getting 5 figures and up on Hemmings.

Thank you everyone for the advice. It’s a real long story about the truck. The short and quick it involves two marines and a Venezuelan with a shotgun. I will upload some photos.
