Basecoat will depend on the actual color. I would figure 1 - 1 1/2 gallons.
Clearcoat - 1 gallon
Reducer - 1 gallon
The only problem will be with the basecoat, especially if it is a custom (non-stock) color. You want to make sure you have enough to complete the job since getting the exact same mix can be a problem. You don't want to run out of paint in the middle of a fender.
I would probably start with a gallon and then spray the interior of the bed and cab, the jams, and the underhood area. That would tell me if more paint was needed. If I had to buy more paint, I then mix the remaining paint with the new paint.
