Your question is too generic, you need to give more details of what your plans are for the truck and what your end goal is.

It is like if I asked you I have a house and asked you "how much would you charge me to paint it"? You have no idea if it is a 1,2 or 3 story or if it is a brick or stucco house or the size of the house.

I was traveling with a friend and we stopped at a little store in the country and my friend asked the local store clerk we are hungry where is a good place to eat, the clerk asked well what kind of food do you like? My friend was a smartass and just said it doesnt matter food is food "just food" the clerk replied well in that case a good place to eat would be a restaurant!

You are better off doing some research and a lot of reading on these types of conversions and to get a good idea of which direction you want to go with your project. That is why you have that many views and no responses, no one is going to waste their time trying to guess what your plans are for this project.

Two threads about the same thing isn't helping either. Question is way too vague to even begin to answer questions, once you have at least started looking at what you have and have some specific questions I'm sure someone will be able to help you.
