cab repairs?
I looked at a couple rust free cabs for sale locally and my cab is in better shape compare to the ones I saw. How much time do I have before it will rust through? I think I will need both rockers panels and driver's floor board. What do you think? Should I keep on looking for a cab or repair this one?

Re: cab repairs?
That is just surface rust sand it down and put POR 15 on it. Do not get a new cab yours is better than 98% of the cabs we restore on a daily basis. Now this is rust!!! Actually more bondo than metal.

Re: cab repairs?
What rust? You won't need much at all. Just some small patches. Here in the Mid-west snow salt areas we call that pristine slightly used cab. Most here are rusted thru the floor where your seat belt falls thru the floor & no rockers or inner rockers left nor evidence of any were installed.
