I agree. Unless you're a sheet metal wizard with a lot of enthusiasm, that much rust damage usually means looking for a replacement cab. There are a lot of nice 60-62's, but it's easier and cheaper to start with a 63-66 everything else being equal. Especially if you want to drop the suspension. The aftermarket offers a great deal more bolt in support for the later chassis.
