Forgot to mention. Since you have bad frame rust, please check the underside of the doors. You know were the water drain holes are. In your part of the country there is a problem with rust. Next check very closly to see if there is any rust under the tail gate. After that check for rust around the tail lights .(best to just take them out to check).
Last but not least check the front end strut mounts,were front shocks go,.
The reason I'm asking is that for a tintop the dealership in NS will be asking about $1,300 for rear 1/4 panels.
If your ready now is the time to get a didgital camera and take pictures of every nut bolt wiring conector and rubber tube you can find. It may not be nessary but its always good to have a reminder of were every thing goes. (helps the old memory in case of temperary brain fart) Last but just as important is get roll of masking tape and put tape on all parts from the frame you will strip so as not to get parts mixed up.
Hope this helps
Once you get yor tintop back on the road , then you can start with engine,trany.ecu swap. By this time I figure some body is going to be sayn by dunderng jesus what am I do-n .
Have a good day
