Guessing $2.5 to $3k for the truck and another grand for the plow ($) would be pretty reasonable in this area. Plows seem to hold value but I've never looked very hard for one.
I gave $2,800 for a '89 5.9 w250 donor about 3 years ago. Lots of body damage, 220k+. new-ish pump, aftermarket bell housing and nv4500 were selling points. I would have gone up to $4,500 then but now I'm glad I didn't. Not even sure CTD would be my first choice anymore - kind of wish I'd just thrown a slant 6 in the crew cab and called it good. But that's another story and much too late to back out now.
Been watching the ads in my area and rarely see running 2wd cummins donors for less than $3k. They are usually very high mileage and AT.
