I wouldn't worry about the value as long as your body and chassis is good and you plan to keep it a long time. Look at what it would cost to purchase a diesel rig with similar miles and you may be saving money by just making your own.
Mine is a 4x4 and so is the one in texas in the video I was talking about.
What do you all think of this one?
http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/3745821978.html I could sell the nv4500 or run it and I could sell the Dana 60 front for close to 1000, body for 1000, and scrap the rest for a few hundred, so I'd be out less than $ 6k right?
I think I'm stuck on finding one with less than 140,000 miles since I just can't justify all the work and expense for something with way more miles than my truck has (80,000). Yes I know the Cummins will run to 400k but it just doesn't sound appealing at more than 140k
