New galvanised one if your keeping it.
Don't buy a second hand one you will/could have the same problems as you have now.
Happy building

The thing is will you want to re-fit all the old parts, I couldn't & ended up doing a full rebuild with all new parts
which was much more satisfying when building it & standing back to admire it.

The body work on mine is really good, engine and box runs sweet, so my plan was new chassis and suspension, retrieved and respray

No far from it, everything was a perfect fit. I replaced everything mechanical so I ended up with almost a brand new vehicle
I also took it back to bare metal & resprayed it, time scale wise it took me 6 months.
