Nowhere that I know of supplies a whole body as a replacement. You can order most of the panels off megazip.net depending on what bits rusted. You'd need to learn (if you don't already know how) to weld body panels and that can be a big job if it's a once off.

If you or a mate know how to do rust repairs properly then that's an option but I'm assuming that isn't practical for you, otherwise keep looking until you find one with a neat body. They do pop up occasionally

Pop an ad in the wanted section here on AZ and keep it current.

You can get a full aluminium replacement lwb tub from lowrange or at least you used to be able to. But $$$

Id say sea freight crammed in with an importer would be 1200 - 1500

So you'd be looking at least $6k AUD plus painting etc. that's quite some $$ but interesting to know
