Any body will do except a super. The repairs should run you ~$1500 to have done (plus repainting). If you can find a good body for that price, I'd go for it. Body work is my least favorite subject. Most of the time you will come out cheaper with buying a good shell. However, the heater channels are part of the pan, not the body. If the rust is there, you'll have to swap pans or repair it. That is the most expensive/difficult part of the job.
