Testing the waters 95 F-150, solid axle swapped, lifted

Well, had an accident occur this past week, my brother decided to steal one of our cars and caused a lot of damage, and as much as I hate to do this, i'm highly considering putting my truck up for sale. Problem is, I have no idea on how to value this thing, so I was hoping you guys could take a look, and give me an idea on a number. It started off as an original f150 sport, xl, 5 speed, 4x4 truck, but the ttb had to go, and it all started there and ended up getting a little crazy. Every gauge works, brakes are excellent, tires are excellent, tranny shifts great, NO RUST, I mean none at all. This thing turns heads everywhere it goes, and i'm really proud of this machine, but it just may have to go. Clean title, a/c blows ice cold, heater will cook you in the winter, and the motor doesn't use any oil between changes, or coolant, or any fluid for that matter, has 175,000 miles on it but i've literally drove it probably 20,000 of those miles, and i'd hop in it and drive it to California tomorrow if I needed to. Not daily driven, she was definitely not babied by me either, I did pull my trailer with it, and helped move some things from time to time, but I made sure it was fit and sound, and if something wasn't, it always got fixed, correctly.

Here's a quick parts list and a couple pictures.........

1.)1979 F150 dana 44 hi-pinion axle, completely rebuilt, nothing except the center carrier is original. Even the axle shafts are new.

2.)4.56 gears, front and back
3.)New spicer ball joints
4.)New spicer u-joints, front and back
5.)All new timken bearings in the front, wheel bearings in the back.
6.)New wheel cylinders in back
7.)New 79' calipers, rotors, and pads
8.)4x brand new rough country n2.0 shocks in all 4 corners
9.)Brand new OEM f250/350 shock mounting brackets
10.)New manual lockouts
11.)Rough Country extended brake lines for up to 8" of lift
12.)The rear is lifted on blocks, which are brand new, and the u-bolts are brand new also

13.) Rough Country 4" lift springs, but the buckets were moved down 1" so it's actually lifted 5" in the suspension

14.)New oem header panel, chrome grille, and stone deflector
15.)Aftermarket black background, clear headlights, with ddm HID's
16.) Also have some 20"x12" wheels and 35x14.50's going with it
17.) Truck has all new energy suspension bushings, including body mounts, and cab bushings.

18.) Currently sits on aftermarket re-makes of the stock Alcoa wheels but in the 5 lug pattern, with 33x12.50 Mastercraft courser M/T's 85% tread left.

19.)Interior is completely swapped to black, and before you get your doubts, I promise if you look in this truck, you'll be surprised.

20.) Custom made track bar, and mount
21.) All new tie rods, AC Delco parts
22.) Dual exhaust, stainless, that I personally made for this truck, and tig welded and the thing sounds better than any truck around here. Loud and know it's coming, but doesn't drone, and in od, you can cruise down the highway at a very comfortable noise level.
23.) Just put a new ps pump, ps cooler, auto tensioner, and serpentine belt on it.

Needless to say, this truck was built right, and no detail was overlooked, all the way down to putting the cotter pins in all the castle nuts. The alignment guy kept throwing me a number hoping i'd sell it to him, but at the time there was no way I was going to. I know i'm forgetting all kinds of stuff, but it really saddens me to think that she might have to go. So, thanks guys, maybe you can guide me in the right direction on a number, and take a look and see if i'll have a problem selling this truck or something.

Honestly.. Here, it's a 5-6k truck with the amount of miles on engine trans.. <and this is with the perfect buyer.. Closer to 5k is more likely..

You will NEVER get out of it what you have invested..
