Thanks all for the interest! I will definitely do my best to keep moving and try to post as many pics as I can.

Winston, I am going to keep the same frame and body. I bought a 4' x 8' sheet of 18 gauge steel to cut out the rust and weld in new metal in the body. The frame looks like surface rust only, except for the C channel in the non-boxed portion behind the rear axle (Sounds common from all the threads I have read). I will have to take a better look at the frame when I get into it - may have to remove the C Channel and box it in, or cut and splice.
