First thing I would do is take it to a good alignment shop. If the frame is straight but flexible, that can be easily fixed. If it's bent and flexible, that sux.
IMO, the 1988+ years are better, Gm had electronics figured out a little better and didn't rely on vacuum lines so much. They are also a little less abused... usually.

this is in the back.it's because the floor board in the back rotted out.i don't know where to buy another floor panel???it looks as if the frame was welded to the bottom of the floorboards.

I think most people just cut and weld sheetmetal to fix those holes. If it's still too flimsy, weld a brace between the rear frame rails.

Good luck.
If you know how to weld your in great shape. If not or even if you do, check out the fabrication section. Lots of good tips there to make your projects come out nice.
