: :The rear A frame support for the pintle hook is a good piece to save as is the rear crossmember and the front frame gussets.

Thanks for the followup. I'll try to get the rear frame support, but I don't know how messy it will get because a previous owner cut the floor out and rigged up a plow frame back there- who ever plows in reverse, anyway?- and welded it to the frame and to the rear of the body.
The front frame gussets are a no-go, because the same guy mounted a HUGE plow frame up front and broke and rewelded the frame 3 different times in front of the crossmember before it broke right at the shock mounts and he called it quits. Any semblance to stock up front is gone, except for the shackle brackets and the crossmember, both of which are heavily occluded with added-on angle steel and plate steel.
I think what I'll do is cut the frame up on either side of the pertinent parts- body mounts, engine mounts, etc. and the buyer can separate the mount from the frame at his leisure. Saves me the work of screwing it up for them! :)
