Condition, rust, rust..
Rust free truck with some paint and interior issues but still looks decent from 15' and usable: $4k pretty easily.
Strictly from the hip guess for pricing. You get what you pay for advice. 
83k original miles, 1 repaint in the original color 30 years ago, almost rust free, runs and drives with no issues. Also, in my driveway for $800. 
I should mention that it runs on propane.
Cool! Congratulations. All the Taxis ran on Propane when I was in university in Canada. Interesting aroma from them.

Why? There are some pretty positive aspects to propane, IF you can get it filled easily.

He usually drove 'Ford' looking trucks, too.
They are nice trucks. I think they drive and ride better than the chevs and the driveline is bullet proof. But very thirsty. Expect 10 mpg.
It's the next episode of Wheeler Dealers USA. What to buy it?
Kingpins.

or about 4-6mpg on propane
I like that! Minus the 1995 Bronco wheels which I'm sure you've got plans to change.

Older propane conversions don't mix well and you will get lean conditions in certain cylinders. I worked for a Natural Gas utility some time ago and we lost quite a few engines from this. Holes right through the pistons.
If you happen to live in a cold climate their cold starts are awful. We had some trucks that had to be hauled into the shop and warmed up before they would start.
Maybe a regional thing but up here there are no fueling stations left.
Limited range and with no fueling stations this is a big issue.
On trucks the tanks are often installed in the bed, which takes up about 2 ft of the cargo area, which sort of defeats the purpose of buying a truck.
Propane has some advantages (high octane rating - around 115 IIRC, no road taxes where I'm from, etc.), but in my opinion not enough to consider using it. The octane rating, for example, is only an advantage if the engine is built for it - ie. high compression ratio.
Clean paint, cheap wheels, profit.

Ok, good info. But if the propane fuel system does get removed make sure you put it for sale on an off road forum. The off roaders like propane because it doesn't care what angle it's running at, and its easier than a fuel injection retrofit for a lot of people.
$1.67/gal for fully road taxed propane. Sweet!
