What is my truck wroth?

Well now I know that, that is a loaded statment in several ways. As I have gotten a lot of good advice from questions I have asked as well as what questions others have asked. I have a 93 W250 club cab truck I purchased just to get the Cummins engine and never thought about kids. Now that I have a 7 week old child we are thinking about moving into a 2nd gen truck to get the quad cab. I have had my truck for 1 1/2 years and have spent a lot time and money on this truck. The following is a list of work that has been done on the truck.

Engine: (front and rear crank seals replaced after getting the truck)

Rebuilt: vac pump, power steering pump, radiator, turbo 16cm exhaust housing (ported and polished)
New: water pump, fan clutch, belt tensioner, belts and hoses. K & N Filter

Transmission:

Rebuilt: Getrag (local tranny shop had some NOS Getrag parts)(all brass, bearing, shift forks, syncos
New: Luc Pro series clutch, flywheel, throw out bearing and pilot bushing

Transfercase:

Rebuilt: full rebuild kit
New: both front and rear output shafts, and idler shaft replaced

Front Axle:

New: 3.54 gears, bearings and shims, king pins on both sides, brake calipers and pads, turned rotors

Rear Axle:

New: 3.54 gears, bearing and shims, new brake shoes

Suspension:

New: Front springs with add-a-leafs for 2" lift, spring bushings, Rancho shocks front and rear

Steering:

Rebuilt: West Texas Off-Road rebuilt the power steering gear box about 6 months ago.

This a short list of what has been done to the truck. I have also replaced everything on the crusie to make it work as well as a new speedo drive unit. The AC system has been gone through and works fine. I installed a set of late model 97 Gen 2 leather power 40/20/40 seats in the truck. Everything works on the truck and it is pulling down 17/18 highway. What is wrong with the truck is the body. I have found NOS rocker panels to replace the rusted ones. I also have 2 new front fenders and well as a drivers door. The truck will also need a diffferent bed. All the glass is good. The truck has a heavy duty front and rear bumper that will also go with it. It runs great and I really don't want to sell it. I put new Toyo 305-75-16 on about 5000 miles ago. All the work that is listed has been done in the last 10,000 miles. The transmission and transfercase only have about 2000 miles on them since they were rebuilt. I really don't have any idea of what it is worth. I know that is hard to price something with out see it. I have put more money into this truck than I will ever get out of it. Right now the only aspect left is getting the body ready for paint. Is $7500.00 to $8000.00 out of line for what has been done to it? Sorry for being so long, and thanks for all the help. If any one is interested I can work on some pictures as well. Still just thinking about what to do!!!!
