Going to have to guess that you don't want to buy a complete donor then? There's still a goodd few Sierras about, and it's usually
the best way

Getting rid of the shell is much easier than it used to be, due to the price of scrap metal. Might be worth you looking into it, make a couple of
calls. many scrappies use flat bed lorried with Hiabs, pick up a shell with no wheels easy
