Half of what it was before the paintjob
What about the engine compartment?
I would say about 8k. Looks like a lot of rust is starting underneath the paint.

How much would it be worth in good shape including a good looking original engine compartment and aftermarket AC?
Do you know of any BJ40's or BJ42's available right now?

@ZeroOctane4me Are you in France as your profile says so ?
Because it does not look like a Euro spec BJ40 and a lot of BJ are available here on LBC for you to chose.

I believe you, and I appreciate it and I don't think you were being rude. I was asking specifically NOT for what you would pay but what you believe the open-market value is. I would myself by $1. Someone else would pay $1 million. It does not mean that the market value is either $1 or $1 million.

Summarizing so far we have 1 relevant data point from a scientific perspective. Thank you White Stripe. He wrote $8,000.
I agree with the $8K USD figure with the limited info available. More than 4K and less than 12K. Lots of amb. door rust - that truck needs to be stored inside, like, yesterday.

Two votes thus far for $8,000 market value on the open market. Anyone else want to chime in?
How does it compare to this one with the link below that had an eBay market value of $16,662?

How can we answer your questions if you don't answer ours ?
Localisation where you are looking for is important. Diesel truck are more or less common in various places of the world.
Mechanical condition is off course critical with a bad body.
Without trying to guess anything and with the level of info, value is only as a part vehicle, 3 to 4k. Even <2k if nothing under the hood (possible with what we see/know).
The truck you compare is a petrol one, not a diesel.

Location: Los Angeles, California, United States ZIP: 90210
Origin: Argentina.
Mechanical condition: No oil leaks, no fuel leaks, no exhaust leaks, no intake leaks. Recently rebuilt to high quality standards. Running perfectly. Drivetrain including both transmission and engine are working perfectly. Engine is original diesel.
What other questions can I answer for you to post your value opinion? Did I miss anything?
My bad I didn't check closely enough the listing, got misleaded by the title and airbox on the left.
Thanks for the answers, so with a good engine, a truck that has a lot of parts and that it's a diesel in the US I think it could be a good candidate for a restoration for someone over there that really want a diesel. So I align with the others on ~8k$ (not that I'm an expert on the US market prices).
In Europe I would have said 6k€ for example as diesel are more common.
