Here's a pic of the chassis I mentioned Jason. It's very clean and straight, the only imperfections being the missing rear crossmember, damaged fishplates (wrong type for FGT anyway), some oxy damage to the round holes in the chassis rail ends, plus a bit of steel welded onto them.
I need the running gear off this chassis but the frame is yours for $100 if you finish up needing it. I'd leave the springs on as yours have had a hard life.
Judging by your pics I suspect you'd need two new rear crossmembers and some new fishplates as well. I'll be getting several of each made up in due course so I can increase the order if need be. Also I'm not sure the winch crossmember fishplates are present on your chassis, so if you can post some pics of this area I can check.
Anyway it's here if you ever need it and I'll keep it in case you do. As I said though you may be better off with a complete truck if you can find a suitable one up there.
