I got quoted between £1500 and £1700 depending on the type of kit two years ago by Ozon for an LPG conversion on my V8 Ram Van. Second LPG tank was an extra £350 option.

I don't really do enough mileage to justify the cost so I'm still running on full fat gasoline.

thats alot more than i was expecting. i was thinking around a grand:s

Anything less than £1800 and I'd be concerned about workmanship. Same as everything else, You pay for what you get and as everything else, there are cheap, poor LPG kits.

I'd research good fitters and get it done right first time.

For a grand or so you might just be able to get an old type kit like they used to have with a single carburettor, but they are so inefficient compared to the modern digital injection systems that I wouldn't even contemplate it.
A decent modern system will set you back at least double that, try Lloyd Ash who are somewhere near Bristol, they seem to know their way around American vehicles, they did the original conversion on the truck I have now.

For not much more you can get a multi point system that's much more economical and alot better.

£1500 isn't cheap for single point anyway.
