Re: Rust repair opinions wanted

Your cab sounds like a typical 70's candidate...the following will give you an idea...

Inner rockers, (you will need outer rockers as well!)
All cab supports which means the rear cab support unit,
Both cab corners plus floor patches
Passenger kick panel will also require front pillar repair...if passenger is gone, drivers will be nearly gone too....
Rear pillar repair panels most likely...plus inner cab supports...

Best way for this amount of work is a new floor pan unit, kickers and front pillars, outer rockers...and cab corners..

That's about 50 hours of labor plus parts...

Stripped cab is needed, no glass, fuel tank out, supply the doors so they can be aligned to the new outer rockers...panel guy doing this MUST use a solid jig to hold cab in alignment...
