Default need some help!

I have a 94 F150...i LOVE the truck. Im getting close to hitting 205,000 miles. I planned on getting the lift, bfg tires, dual flowmaster, and basically murder everything out, lol. I want to flip the vehicle but it's not really worth it. The rust is beginning to take over underneath the truck, around the wheel wells, and in the front quarter panel as usual. I'm tired of fixing corrosion (the housing on for the spring and shock rusted through, $350 fix), i already dumped 3 grand into an oil pan, tires, shocks, ball joints, wheel alignment, brake lines, front rotors and pads. And now the dipstick for the engine oil rusted through...it never ENDS! I need some suggestions on finding a 92-96' with low miles, and little rust if any at all. Im only asking because i'm not finding ANYTHING that fits my description on craigslist or auto trader. help?

Got any relatives in a state where it doesn't snow? Go for a visit, buy a truck. There's a crap load out here in California.
