Repair or replace really depends on where you live. The truck I got from Qksilver has rust in the interior roof, cowl, floors, coners and rockers were already replaced, etc. Back east guys would fall over themselves to have this cab because you can't see the grass through any of the rust, but here in AZ I have two or three different cabs that I'll someday bolt on it. I prefer to drive it, rather than unbolt it into a million pieces and then lose interest, yadda, yadda..... If you need to fix (rain blowing in or resto, then find a nice cab or repair) I'd pony up $4-500 for a great cab, because I know how much work and $$$ is involved in repairs and if you aren't good the repairs show it. I like to buy LWB parts trucks a rob em for their goods and scrap the rest (I know this is sacreligious to some, but here LWB outnumber SWB by a lot) Either way good luck with it!
