Its amazing what you can do with a planer even if the wood old and weathered. Most old siding on barns are a "true" 1" thick and can be plained down quite a bit to match current wood thickness. You can pick up some nice long wide peices that way.
Couple years ago I helped a friend with his house. We pulled off all the cedar siding and numbered it. With the siding off he rewired the outside walls then filled them with insulation. On a Friday I would come back and help him run the siding though a planer to remove all the old paint then nailed it back up. Day to take it off (one side at a time) he rewired the side for a week and planed it in a day and a day to put it back up. Beat the *&^% out of hand scraping the old paint off. The newly planed siding soaked up the oil base primer and the paint looks great 5 years later.
In the end he only bought a few new peices of cedar siding to replace what we broke pulling it off. It was a whole summer project for him but the final product was well worth the effort.
