I'd submit it's also a question of size of the potential buyer pool. In other words, while a nicely done LS conversion may bring more than a stock truck (and not sure I agree with that when it comes to a great condition stock truck..) but I think that a stock engine truck will have a much larger potential buyer pool. To Willie's point - I've seen very few nicely done LS conversions compared to the number of junkyard swaps that look like junkyard swaps. Everyone has an opinion - my 2 cents is that if one is going to the trouble to build a very nice truck, if the original drivetrain is rebuildable, that may be a preferred and less expensive (i.e. more profit if planning to sell it) approach.
