Re: Really rusty cab... needing help

When I saw the pictures, I figured you'd be from up in the rust belt. How did a tn truck get cancer like that? Anything can be fixed, but first sit back and ask yourself this. Would you rather spend a King's Ransom on keeping , and patching what's left of the original cab? Or get a good replacement, and finish your restoration with a lot less money spent? I empathize with you on the sentimental value, I would love to be able to have my dad's 68 GMC, but the Rust Moths did away with it some 40 years ago (I grew up in northern Michigan).

That's what mine had... and I ended up having to replace a big chunk of the floor boards and the kick panel. Guaranteed the lower A-pillar is rotted out to.

Not to add more misery, but there a e way better cabs out there than the one you have.
