My uncle is building a 72 c20 CST. He picked up a donor truck for $400.00. When he got home, he realized that the cab is an AC cab. (wasn't needing the cab, bought it for the front clip/suspension.) Well the Cab has the normal rusting areas plus the firewall is rusting out. He was told that once a firewall is rusted out, you pretty much have to toss it. Is this true? If not, is it worth it to repair it? My uncle would like to use the AC Cab if it is salvageable.

Thanks in adavnce for your responses.
