A couple of questions

[caminokid]

I found a 69 One Ton truck with a flatbed dump yesterday. It has a 1/2 cab and doghouse on it. The cab and doghouse is in really good shape. The rocker on the left side needs attention and the cab corners have been replaced but not fully done. I think the frame is from a 60 to 66 GMC. Its has a 305 6cyl in it with a top loader 4 speed.

My cab and doghouse on my 69 is way beyond repair.

Question 1. In Nixons voice " I am not a welder!" Should I go ahead and replace the cab corners that was poorly done? Or try to grind off the welds and fix them?

Question 2. I have done some welding (ie. Exhaust) Never any body work. I am going to buy a Mig. One from Harbor Freight...only cause I dont have alot of cash for a really nice one. Do I buy a gas less mig thats 110 or do I buy a gas one thats 220...and run a long extension cord from the basement to the garage?
Which is going to be better?

Question 3. Do I save that 305 6cyl...or toss it. I was told its not really worth anything. I not asking what it worth...I have been told around $200.00...but it maybe forever before I sell it.

Question 4. Whats the best to paint the frame with? How expensive is powder coating? Do I just use the kit from Eastwood for painting and sealing the frame?

Plans are to fix this cab before I put the truck back together. Its a frame off deal fixing to happen.
