'57 Bodywork Help pls

Need advice on how to repair this A-pillar damage. It is about 4 inches of pitting and rust out. Area has been blasted out and cleaned and now etch primed. This is my worst place on the truck and no patch panels availible. Also, this is way above my knowledge and skill level. Should I hire a good mig welder, tig welder, or try metal body fill??? I may can cut that section from an old cab with plasma and have a good welder try to splce it in but then I worry about windshield and door alignment. Attached are pics.
