Probably not that much. It's a clean shell though, that alone should get you a couple grand if you can find someone looking for a long bed.

it was owned us military
any proof of being owned by the DOD? paperwork, NSN/serial numbers? pictures on a base? anything?
To normal people this truck is worth 500-1500 bucks maybe.
But to a US historian, a DOD museum, you might be sitting on something worth a bit more.
I'd find the actual history of the vehicle, somewhat restore it, and then contact dod museums and find out where it can be displayed at.
especially with EV coming into the limelight. this will have a historical interest about it, not much else.

good write up on the RAREST gm truck ever built..

Among all the Chevy trucks produced so far, the S10 EV is the rarest of all. The electric S10 was powered by the EV1’s detuned drivetrains which churned 114 horsepower. It is believed that when the EV1 was launched, Chevy engineers got inspired by its modular powertrain. They modified it a bit to fit in the S10 compact pick-up and thus came up with the electric S10. Even though the truck sat heavily at 4900 pounds, its payload capacity was limited to a little over 900 pounds. The EPA estimated range was about 45 miles (95.3 miles after the update) and it took around 2.5 to 5 hours to charge it fully. Though the pickup shared most of the electronics with the legendary cousin EV1, it couldn’t travel the same distance on a single full charge. The electric S10 also delivered a top speed of 70 mph, lower than the EV1.

The S10 EV was neither efficient nor fun to drive resulting in a very poor buyer response. Needless to say, the range and cost were the major roadblocks. A base price of $33,000 was ridiculously high for a mediocre compact pickup, with extremely low range and power. In 1998, the truck was upgraded and then discontinued. GM dumped around 440 unsold units to the crusher. According to the Motor Biscuit reports, it was done to protect the proprietary technology, design, and extensive research vested in the infamous electric truck. Given the fact that only 60 of these are still on road today and it’s almost impossible to catch sight, these are undoubtedly the rarest Chevy trucks ever made.

That is not that truck. This is a third party conversion.
