I think the test is this: if you go out to the garage and the truck is simply gone or has been hammered by a meteor and is nothing but rubble, after you get done wailing and crying, how much do you need to replace it?

I used a stated value of $30k for mine and with the TCI chassis, LS swap, all the damn parts I bought, and a few outside services (rebuild trans, upholster seat, build an exhaust, install glass, sand blast and powder coat, etc. I can't replace it for that so need to get with it and increase it. Probably more like $40, not that it makes any sense to spend that much, just what it'll cost to replace.
