What type of body work do you need to get done?
If its just minor and you are interested in bringing back the shine, I can share what I know with you.
I have an 08 Screw 2WD XLT that was my company work truck before they bought me a 16. I purchased it off the company really cheap just to clean it up to sell and make a quick buck. The truck had NEVER been waxed and only rinsed off at the car wash occasionally. But, it did not have rust or any dents. PLENTY of scratches from being driven through the woods and branches rubbing it ( I used to to ground water sampling/analysis and was required to drive to remote locations where ground water wells were located ). I have some before and after photos and will share the steps I took to bring it back to life but it was well worth it.
Dont know the current state of your truck but if its just faded or has some scratches, you can definitely make a huge difference with the right chemicals and A TON of elbow grease. I probably had 50+ hours in bringing the paint and trim back out on the 08 work truck.
Good luck!

I've considered it. Maybe I'll take it off sometime & check it out. I might want to put my Harley valance back on the front and if I do that.
I have also considered button and A.D.D. Or N-Fab Front bumper on it.

Under the fuel door where the nozzle has clanged it has chipped and rusted
the bumper has a bunch of rock dings that started rusting it
the back of the bed when you put the gate down has started to crack in spots
