$2000 at MOST if the body is good. Remember the engine maybe HD but the rest of the truck is still just a light duty truck. I'assuming the engine is still all torn down?

Is it in pieces? Ouch, thats gonna be a hard sell. I would pass on the truck unless you have part available. I would say $500, as is. If the guy takes it, you get a bag of bolts and go for it. If not walk away. There always more trucks.

I have that VE engine if you want parts. One piston is messed up. Between the two of them you should almost have a runner. Just buy it cheap. It can't be worth much. Take $750, cash. You might get lucky.

$1k really isn't that bad. Try and find a good running pump for that, let alone the rest of the parts to convert. You could do better, but not that much better. I'd consider it if I were in your shoes. A kit to do what you are wanting to do is $1800 from Haisley/Scheids, and you still need a variety of items.
