should one save short box frames?

[kanuck]

Went out and walked one of our older junk yards today and found about 14 old and very rusty 67-72 pickups. The problem is the owner is retiring and everything is going to the crusher on Monday March 20. I did find 2 short box step sides that are rotted away, but I'm wondering if its worth while to save one of them just for the frame. They still want about $250 for the truck and there is very little of use on it. Did have a nice step side gate with dents but no rust. Don't need another project at all, just hate to see things get crushed. Are shortboxes getting that hard to find or do I need to save this to preserve the specises.
