    I'm now considering procuring a used frame in good condition. My reasoning is that if I'm going to go through the trouble of doing the work, might as well do it in a way that will make the truck last longer.

    I've also connected with an old friend who now owns a body shop and will help me with the logistics and charge me as little as possibly. Under this scenario, the projected expenses change greatly.

    lots of dents
    I’ve seen many clean frames here for sale on facebook and craigslist here in Oregon. Clean frames an be found in washington, oregon, cali, arizona, nevada. You’d have to figure out shipping or a road trip. I’ve once bought a wrangler YJ frame and transported it back 200 miles back home. It took 5 strong guys to lift it up and set it on top of my little scion xB’s roof rack. Once lashed down it was super stable.
