Me too, I knew about the cab corners, but the rest caught me by surprise.

Bummer on the usual rusted spots. Probably a lot more there than you can see on the surface. It's a pretty straight forward repair just gonna take some time.

I think I am going to just use one of the billet inserts and an after market stereo. The sheet metal repairs are another story. Initially I figured I'd just let it ride, but after looking it over today I think they need to be dealt with soon. When I have the cab off the frame I'll take a look and see if I can handle the repairs. I have zero experience with sheet metal so it should be interesting!!
