What would you do ?

long story short here we go,i bought a 1990,f-250 4x4xlt body wise not to bad the usual bad spots. motor wise a 351 efi with an auto tranny and very very low miles.runs good, suspension and frame the front springs are shot from the boss v plow ,the spring hangers are rotted off literally and the springs are resting on the body mounts the frame is very thin in spots and rusted to say the least.found used spring hangers but not sure if its worth the hassle,or if it will pass state inspection. what would you do?

I would go to the wrecking yard and buy a frame and swap all the good stuff over to it.
