Frame bent, what to do?

Ok so I came across this 71 c10 frame and a cab, mainly I needed the cab due to the cancer mine has. Since the frame is a five lug disc short bed I grabbed it too. Now you can see in the pics from the spring mounts back it is twisted, the rest of the frame is square and true. Obviously the rust around the spring mount caused it to be weak and due to a rear end accident I presume this happened. Now comes the question of is it fixable or should I say price wise is it fixable, I’m a poor guy here. I really would like to start building my second c10, this one a short bed compared to my current long bed step that I drive daily.

I would take it to a local body shop to see if it is worth doing, but as you can see I am still in need of a rear axle and that makes it fun to move. So I thought you guys could put some info in before I get too excited about having a shorty to work with. Any info appreciated so let it roll, I’m all ears.
