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).
