That's actually exactly what I plan to do. Buy a truck for the windshield and rear axle (and hopefully other parts). Mine did only have a small crack, but in a storm it got him by a tree limb, so now there is a small hole and it has some pretty major cracks. The windshield was never actually sealed in (the original windshield was broken long before) as the truck wasn't running, so it has been letting water get into the cab - so we have some rusting action going on in the floorboard, but I know some guys who can weld me in some metal, then I can replace the carpet over it.
The worst thing that ever could have happened was for that truck to have sat for so long.
