it would be a good starting point for someone who has been around the block and knows what works and what will need to be redone. since the frame is the foundation, and it has a problem, you would need to take the whole truck apart and start from the ground up. there are some good parts and things done ok but you gotta know the difference when you start off. you could start with a whole different frame and build it like you want it with the parts that are there and add to them but the price would have to reflect that, you would need a large work and storage area, some tools to get the job done and lots of time to post stuff on here so we could help you walk through it. oh yeah, did I mention time and money? lol.
