Well, it is a nicely done truck, by the pics anyway, but as for worth ....... I will not be much help but setting a price on customized vehicles is sort of hard....... what someone is willing to pay and what the market driven price is, ie how many for sale in the area, are the biggest factors, IMHO.

Well, it is a nice build, and it's got lots of stuff. For that amount of build I would say the $30K is not unreasonable, but there is a special buyer out there who wants and needs all this stuff.

I would think that unless your buddy has a lust for rods, that he could find something with a lot less ornimentation at a much lower price. A very nicely restored daily driver seems to be selling for about $15K - $20 K depending on the glitz. (and note I said selling not asking)

custom trucks are difficult to price because of different tastes.

I guess I am going to prove your point. I don't think the build is so great. The engine compartment and interior are nice, but there are things I didn;t care for.
