Fix rust vs buying another cab 68

[marcolara]

Good morning! I'm evaluating the level of effort to get my 68 c10 body as clean as I wanted to be. My cab has seen better days and is pretty much pretty beat up now. I'm wondering if I should spend the money to get it fixed (and how expensive that would be) vs just getting another cab which that alone is not as easy around where I am.

Here are some picture with the mayor damage my cab has.

1) All floor supports are badly rusted
2) Windshield frame is all bubbling up with rust already
3) Can see through the floor kick panels right where the floor and the panel meet.
4) Dash radio has been hacked
5) Some dents in the exterior of the cab between the rear window and the door corner section.

I went to a body shop here in Temecula CA, and they quoted me 12k to do the entire truck. That is just insane given that I cannot afford a show truck. Is going to be my occasional daily driver, but don't want a trailer queen.

Thanks!

Thanks


Question is... is it worth fixing? How difficult is it to fix these sections?
