I agree, except i'd be fixing the tailgate, rear window and front bar (squashed). Leave the wheels how they are, not touch the suspension.
The only mod i'd make is to remove the 6cyl and fit an injected 5.0L using a red trimatic pattern block and a RH shift V8 trimatic. There would be no body mods at all with this conversion except for a low down hole in the firewall for the ECU harness and a mod to put a throttle cable through. The battery tray has to move to the other side but the inner guards look like they are pretty crappy anyway so just a few more holes!
