Now that is something I can get on board with! All too many times people try & put these new, digital dashes in old cars and they like like... well... *****. To me at least. This seems to keep the main style of the truck while fitting in the new dash component. Nicely done. Wouldn't expect much less based on what I've seen from the rest of the builds though.
still need to add chrome bezels around gauges.
but it’s close. If enough interest will post video of it in operation.

Really hard to say what prices should be. Up here in the NE rust free sheet metal would sell easily I think and at good prices but in AZ that might not be the case. That 66 bed is probably worth quite a bit to the right person but I'm sure you have a lot of time and $ in it so even that might be hard to turn much of a profit. If you have the time start high and come down if needed.

up here in Canada we would have to pay $2,000(+) for a rust free straight box, $1,500(+) for a rust free cab, $200-$300 per door, same for a tailgate, $150-$250 per fender and $250-$400 for a straight rustfree hood, $100-$300 for a straight rustfree steel grill & $300-$600 for a good aluminum grill, and it goes on...
You want $2,000 for that setup sounds like a give away from our perspective up here.
A minor surface rusty, slightly dented, patina'd rolling Slick pickup with great project potential could bring $5,000 up here with relative ease.

Like everything I sell way cheaper than it should be!

Any of the failed inserts trying to get them right and it came direct out of my pocket.
Not afraid to say it if anyone else can make equal inserts I would give 200.00 per pair when I need them.

I have never gotten more than 200.00 for a pretty much mint aluminum '66 Grille. Matter of fact I just promised one a excellent no dings, dents or scratches '66 grille for 200.00 Person picking it up next week. Sold him a nice '66 Fender for 125.00
I still will sell the completely re-done '65 chassis, a rust free cab, and a very nice rust free dent free box together for 2000.00 One could spend 3k just going thru frame plus a whole bunch of time.
Now selling the short bed less box for 2500.00 both truck rollers have clear az titles and door tag. I want to add shade canopy in front of shop so I can spend some morning evening time outside when temps hit 115 deg. Working in direct sun last 9 years for FREE not much fun.
I saw a nice take off tail gate the other day and asked the price and was told "GIVING it away for 3000.00" WOW I sell nice trucks for that . . I call that GOUGING!

I’m sorry to hear that you’re in this spot. I would love to see you carry on with the projects, but that would be selfish. Based on what you said, I guess that I don’t want a conditioned shop. Here in Chico, my baseline rate is 24 cents/kwh, and it only goes up from there.
I had other projects in the works but machine shop RUINED my last 3 good FE blocks and refuses to compensate. Not only that but had spent a small fortune on buying other parts for those trucks. Just this short bed alone I had all other engine parts ready to go Like a custom set of Mercury Valve covers made in ALUMINUM! Big $$ there, I had a 1966 GT390 carb restored to perfection, ALuminum intake, new steering gear box, power steering, new AC system from Vintage Air, I bought a custom Rebuilt C6 along with a new Gear Vendors Overdrive, Bought a custom driveshaft, Built a new 9" posi center section, new bearings on axles, did up a dropped I beam setup with all new king pins, disc brake setup with all parts plated, restored all chassis hardware, All NOS glass, Spent a small fortune only to have it all go away. Another truck I had a full 3spd column shift factory OverDrive all new ready to go and on and on. Blocks of course were date coded to trucks. Boatload of parts I now can get nothing or little for. I figured it was a good time to get ready for retirement now in 17 months (passed 62 long ago)
Then today I Tripped over yet another '66 Ranger! Total unknown truck not in registry, Az since new nice color combo ordered for stock it appears as no 6 digit DSO. Tempting but If I plan on quitting any time soon . .
Spent 3 months trying to figure out how to get the new Raptor 450/510 crate engine to run without PATS or dealer help. Finally got it today so I can now start to put truck together!
Will be a total relief to sell at least 3 current trucks.

Just as I say I am going to sell things off, the phone shows text message: Do you have any interest in a complete 1966 Ranger LWB? (Does a bear crap in the woods?) Maybe if it's my favorite color combo.
Conversation goes on and I ask for pics, TRUE RANGER! Like I totally need another but to humor myself I decide to go look so I can simply talk myself out of it! Really . .
Parked a long time but under cover for most of its life. Yet ANOTHER AZ since new RANGER . . . I did best I could to talk myself out of it . . Air Cleaner grew legs but other than that all there.
I crawled all over and under trying to find rust. These darn Arizona Rangers . .
Chad, Yes it's a 352 with the proper coolant lines for the FMX . . (at least I think it was you that was looking) I will give it another day of talking myself out of it. Maybe I can find a cure first.
