Knowing what it costs to do one vs what people are asking for 6.5l powered trucks, if it's a fully functioning swap, I don't think he's that overpriced. Your kidding yourself if you think you can do a CUMMINS swap nowadays yourself for less than $5K by the time you source a good engine and trans, by all the pieces, scour the junkyards for nock knack's, customize, and make everything work together.

Yeah, if it is exactly what someone wants- ok. But you have to scrutinize it greatly.
Off the cuff call it average and move up or down the scale on quality. But body rust, interior needs repair, he didn't even bother to clean the truck to sell it, so is he willing to do anything not necessary?
If he is valuing it based on the conversion- what are doing selling it with a single picture taken with tools thrown all over it, no proper radiator shrouding. Show the harness work. Tell about the component choice for the adaption. He says "3:42 gears front and and rear that i put in myself so i know what they are."
Did he not put in everything else to know what it is? Makes me think he farmed out the conversion to whoever and he rebuilt the diffs in his backyard.
1 "during repair?" Pic of engine to sell the conversion and 13 pics of a rusted body with clear peeling.
I get if you are going to do one yourself the cost, but you still don't know condition, and by his statement of what he did himself, did he buy an incomplete project and has to be second person to give up on problem child?
I'm very Leary of projects that don't show well.
Don't sell a truck with a bucket underneath it and mud on the floorboard. At least make it look like your proud of it enough to take a nice set of engine pics and a detailed interior. Would you sell your house with pictures of the foundation being repaired with concrete tools laying all around?
It could be worth it, but I would be overly cautious do to the way selling it is being handled. My 2 cents.

That was my thoughts. Like any project car or racer. You aren't going to get what you have in it. Especially if you don't even bother to make it attractive
