I wouldn't remove the later models off the table. If you do look at pre-emission trucks, take a good look at the frames. Especially if the truck has been used for plowing snow.

Try to find out just how bad they want it gone. If it can’t move under its own power, offer to tow it away for free.

Why do you feel you need a high output alternator?

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like a plan. When you consider the width of a bed, the length of a dinette and the size of a shower stall, fourteen feet, in length, is as short as you’ll want to go. Mitsubishi used to have Body Builder Guides/Directives that went back several years. Looks like...
