If memory serves from my body swap, there are only about a dozen nuts/bolts holding that shell to the frame. Disconnect tank, fuel lines and wires (if any of that is left) and you're pretty much golden. We lifted two bodies, rolled out one chassis, rolled in another cleaned up frame/engine/tranny/transfer case. Had a running, driving Pig in less than a full weekend. Not all that heavy either. Four of us carried the Moviestar's sandblasted shell into Jason's garage at the start of the that resto.
Good score...avoiding rust repair is a big head start.

Nice! Let me know if you need any help. I can at least steer you to some of the better watering holes around here.
Have a great adventure and take some pictures.
