Default 2000 Ram Frame

Anyone know where i can get a clean frame for a 2000 ram 2500 4wd regular cab? I bought a nice 65000 mile truck, never seen rust so bad on the frame, but body is decent, minor rust, cab bed exct good, not sure if factory didnt paint/ prime frame, its really bad, hate to scrap truck, interior like new, drives perfect, no wind noise, any help be great, i got a great deal on it, so willing to do a frame swap, was told southern trucks were mostly 2wd,

Head West. The areas between the Rocky Mountains and the Cascades use little to no road salt. The rainy areas along the coast tend to have more rusty vehicles but inland is pretty dry climate. UT, NV, AZ, CA, OR, WA.

I had a Superduty with rust problems and found a bunch of frames around Nashville Tn. Where are you located.

I just had to repair a section of the frame on my 96.
