For another point of reference, I'm doing basically the same thing 'trucker is doing, but redoing a '76 Dodge Sportsman Travelcraft, a bit shorter than his, different layout, not as much wood damage, but I think I've replaced and/or will replacing more interior furnishing type stuff than him, whereas he had to basically tear his down to almost the bare framework. I've been able to do mine by just ripping apart the insides.
Like 'trucker, I've been keeping track of everything I've spent, put it on a spreadsheet, etc. My estimated total is about $11,500, but in my estimates, I've rounded everything up a couple bucks and included ALL costs (including initial cost, registration, title, etc). I'll likely come in under that amount. Guess high, come in low, be happy, etc...
Even still, if you spend $12K, heck, or even $20K, and get a practically brand new rig, done up just the way you want it, you'll be WAYYY ahead of a brand new rig fresh off the lot.
