plus you'd need a vin plate and title for the new cab or at least cut out the vin tag area and transplant it (borderline illegal)
I dont mean to threadjack but it seems we have a related issue.

Would it be a good idea to reinstall the doors and front sheet metal before I start cutting the cab up? That way I can check the gaps and brace the cab or will the alignments be off just from having new metal. I suspect the current rotted metal is "off" compared to spec
