My truck took 1 gallon with about a pint left over given that mine was a standard cab long box and the bed rails were painted and not the surface area of the inside of the box. Beneath the hood and in between the cab and box were painted before hand as the painter requested (no one really sees under there so its ok to experiment) I would probably buy 4 quarts or 1 gallon in your case

I did mine with spray paint. Extended cab, long bed. It took 9 can's of green for the body, and two of black for the bumpers, grill, and rims.
