I know the feeling. I recently retired my 1973 Dodge B200 van that my father bought new right about the time I got my license. Same kind of reasons... body rust, frame rust, worn out suspensions parts, bad bearing in differential, etc.. I've been through a lot with that van, and it was sad giving up on it, but I had rebuilt the engine a few years ago, so I transplanted its 360 into my '84 B150 that had an ailing 318. Now the B150 runs a ton better than it ever did with the 318.
I hope you make it though the winter OK and stay warm!
