Gut it! Strip it bare! Bootheels on metal floor boards, how it should be (if you've got your CJ5 in 4WD and smokey on your tail). You won't need those axles or suspension, it'll get in the way of those Dana 60's and 37" mudders. Avoid the chrome, it will set you apart from other heep owners. And jump on the bandwagon for a junkyard 350 swap- all the other jeepers are doing it, so it must be good! And don't forget the window sticker (the one that says we wouldn't understand), it sends an important message.
Okay, jokes aside, I have had good results myself from frame straightening, and it wasn't that expensive once I found the "right guy" to do it. He built his own equipment and knew what he was doing. If you're looking for re-sale, that's money well spent. You already found out how the rest works, that front end should swap right in. You got off lucky without body damage!
