My dad's service van ('99 E-350) has over 190k miles and it has never had a problem, just regular preventative maintenance and replacing items that wear out with time (tires, brake pads, wheel bearings, ball joints).

You'll be able to get a good look at everything while it's out. Good score.

That would be a cool project. I would keep the whole thing minus the body. You will never know what you need and would be good to have if needed. I really want to build a truck like you have. I found a late 50's White 3000 that I would love to build, but I don't have a place to store it until I could start building it.
