What would i be looking at assuming the underside checks out ok? rockers? cab corners? door skins? I realize it is hard to judge by the pictures because it is crappy quality. As far as rust goes i have seen MUCH worse driving around.

It sounds like you need to decide what you want.
If you want a winter beater, get this truck just as that, a beater. Then go find something to play around with on the side, that has less rust.
Honestly, that truck looks to me like it's about to fall apart. I know things are different here in Az, but I don't think I've ever seen a truck that rusted out. If you are wanting to eventually do some body work, find one with less rust. You'd end up replacing fenders, doors, cab corners, probably floor pans, and maybe bedsides on that. Looks like much more work than it's worth.
