Having someone (a pro) repair it for you could cost a lot. You have to weigh the pros and cons on this one. A lot depends on whether or not you are capable of doing the work yourself. Like MOthertrucks mentioned in your "Swiss cheese" post he can furbish you with patch panels or pieces. But getting them welded in properly is another matter. Is there any other work that needs to be done on the cab? Like supports, corners, mounts, floor, rockers etc.?
If there is, then the cheapest and easiest alternative is to hunt down a better cab and toss the old one. Keep looking and be patient, something will turn up.
