    That rust on the skid is pretty gnarly...

    But the frame just looks like surface rust. Take some pics of the inside of the frame near the front leaf spring hanger. That is the most common place for bad rust damage.

    I did my first timing belt/water pump ever and it wasnt too bad just time consuming. Just get someone to help you who has done one before, especially for the timing alignment. It can be very frustrating by yourself.

    Ditto. Just did my water pump yesterday. Most frustrating part was the timing alignment.
