As far as the gas in the oil, the Quadrajet carbs are known for leaking gas from plugs in the base of the carb. This gas runs through the engine and ends up in the oil pan. Change the oil & filter and rebuild or replace the carb and I bet you won't have any more problem with gas in the oil.
Repair or replace one thing at a time starting with the safety items. If the bed is solid I would consider fixing it. Too many people make the mistake of tearing the whole truck apart, then become overwhelmed with the task of putting everything back together and just give up.... 
A lot of parts are available at your local auto parts store or through the parts vendors that post on this board...

I didn't know that about those carbs, I'll give that a look.
Thank you, and everyone for the responses. I appreciate it. Any tips or advice is welcome!
Edit to add: Hey does anyone know whats the best way to add a 700r4? Could ya'll give me some help and let me know what parts I'm going to need and who makes them? Does any one make a "conversion" kit, or make a specific drive shaft for that set up? If not, I know that I'll have to have a drive shaft made, but was wandering if ya'll knew anything different.
