Other than the rust they look OK to me. I'd be more worried about your shocks and the exhaust that's rotting away.

No problem! I'd be careful with pulling parts like shocks from a yard, though. Not saying it can't be done if you get lucky and find some near new, but my guess is 90% of what you're going to find will be just as pooched as what you take off. If you really want an improvement I'd grab some new Bilstein HDs, I have them on both of my trucks and they're awesome. Standard equipment on Z71s from the factory and you can get a set on eshocks.com for around $300.
