Thanks for the words, all!

I think I'm going to continue with fixing this cab. It's a matter of $$ vs time vs space for me.
Using the A pillars from my parts cab will cost me zero dollars, zero space, but a bunch more time measuring and fitting. Before I was going to do all the cab repairs on the dolly, with replacing the A pillars I think a couple of rounds with the cab on the chassis hanging doors and the front clip will be the best way to go to ensure proper fitment.

Here are the two possibilities locally if I were to start on another cab:

I'd need to pay someone to haul them home for both, and I don't have the space at home unless I want to work on grass.

Here's some better shots of the A pillars on the parts cab.

I haven't done any more work on the truck really, been looking for a little utility trailer to buy so I can cart the cab(s) around to get blasted. Also rolled the chassis around, got the tarps out from under it and cut the grass. My girlfriends father donated a bunch of 2x2 patio stones and I bought a few more, going to lay down some landscaping cloth and hopefully make a little parking pad for the chassis/bed/front end so it's not over grass.
