I would probably take It to a shop that deals with restoration's or a reputable body shop. They may be able to fix the soft spots on the frame with out too much issue before it gets worse? If they can fix it with out too much issue and the rest of the vehicle is in good shape then it may be worth the repair?

If you find on a visual inspection that the frame seems to have 15% to 20% bad rust issues/spots it more than likely has twice to 3 times that much rust because many times the rust starts or is on the insides of the frame rails where you can't see it until it rust through to the outside of the frame!
Tap on all the good areas of the frame, every square inch with a hammer, if it doesn't sound solid then that spot has bad rust on the inside of the frame which will soon come through the frame.
