Thanks for all your comments. The broken bolts were after liberal applications of PB Blaster, I'm bringing the propane torch for the next go-round.
I am planning on doing a full frame-off restoration but I'm leaving the body on until I can get the sills and F-frame repaired. As soon as those are done, I'll pull it off and start cleaning up the frame and suspension. I already put about 400 miles on the rear axle towing it home, so a few miles to and from auto body class shouldn't add much wear until I get can get started on the frame.
WhatsThatNoise, are you in North Carolina (sorry, I don't know where Appalachia is)? If so, I have a nephew living out in your neck of the woods. I might have to come out for a visit.
