My cab was nearly identical to yours with the same colors and rust spots. The rockers and steps are easily replaced together in one piece and cab corners tie in also. The hinge pockets and all of the metal is available to make it relatively easy if handy with a welder.

PRO TIP: Test fit a windshield before you start cutting and replacing metal. If the windshield doesn’t fit, fix that first and brace it.

Hopefully your fenders clean up nicely also.
