Not as much as you think.I think I was told around $200 each.Gotta love Military Surplus.a $50,000 truck with 10,000 actual miles selling for between $500-2000.same with tires.

I like the four-door extended cab.

Seems like I used to see normal trucks with that option.

I don't much care for the bed, though; a steel flat would be more to my liking.

Certainly sticking a body on a 2-1/2 ton frame is not hard, but that's cheating. I'd rather see somebody take a standard Ford, add the third axle, and maybe run a set of 36's on it. Something streetable like Big Jake did. There is a guy over on TDS who is building a DT-466 truck, but he's cheating too. Dropping the body on an S4600 chassis.
