Tough to say with out seeing the truck or knowing where you are. Here in the rust belt a clean rust free box and cab alone will run you well over $2k but in the south they are plentiful and much much cheaper.

I don't know what they're selling for in Oragon. Down here in Texas...some of the odd ball trucks like super cabs, 4 wheel drives, and SWB's are a little pricey. A good one can be had for around 1500 or less, but some get a little more expensive. The regular plaine jane single cab long wheel base trucks as mentioned above are dirt cheap. I've had 2 of them that I got for 300, and I've never paid more than about 100 for a good parts truck. Your best bet would be to look through the classifieds here on FTE and see what they are selling for in your area.
