Re: Is this cab repairable?

If you are attached to this cab, it's worth repairing. You can get all of these sections you'll need to replace from numerous venders, and their not all that expensive. Just remember when welding sheet metal don't weld more than 3/4" before moving to a different spot, then when it's cooled off come back and weld some more. This should help to prevent warping. Don't forget also that grinding the welds can heat it up enough to warp as well. These are the worst mistakes I've made when I first started. Another thing, don't let it overwhelm you. If you can't afford, or don't have the time to do it all at once, do one section at a time. In the end I think you'll be feeling alot of satisfaction that you did it yourself, and grow even more attached to that cab. Good luck
