Yeah, prep just means what you said, fill, sand, & prime. 

Any primer should be fine.  I used Rustoleum Primer Filler because it's sandable & fills in small imperfections. http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=11

I've only done small projects, but the primer/bedliner/clearcoat seem to go a long way.
Two cans of each would definitely do a whole cab, one can of each would probably come close.
The stuff covers really well, so it doesn't take a lot.

Don't cheap out and buy generic primer & clearcoat. 
You'll end up having to use 5x as much primer and the clearcoat could have some type of reaction with the bedliner and ruin your project.

Thanks BadMouth!  Hope I didn't sidetrack this thread too badly.
