Removal of the COWL uncovered the most devastating discovery. Severe rust on the A Pillar and firewall connection. also showing in the next photo. Due to this, unfortunately cab replacement seems to be necessary.

Showing this passenger side view is a little less rusted than the driver side however, still devastating to the cab and has caused the cab to be totally replaced.

Cab support is totally rusted and almost gone.
