Not only do you have to figure on selling $2000+ (I don't follow the math from above) worth of parts to come out on the deal, you need to be figuring your time too. Breaking it down wouldn't be a three hour deal, plus all the tire kickers you'd have to put up with coming to look.

from the pictures..it doesn't look too bad?
did the AC system loose pressure?
is the intercooler damaged?
does it run?
I'm not an expert on air bags..but do they really cost that much to replace? or just leave no working any more? are they required in your area?
I think I get the math
7k - you don't get the truck
5k - you get the truck..for what ever you want. so to make up the difference you need to get 2k from the parts..if the engine runs its worth that much. what about the tranny. axles. radiator..sure your time is worth something so keep this in mind..

just some thoughts

You should take the engine and drivetrain and stick it in the Suburban.
