55.2-59 cab rust - is it bad?

[regan56]

ok, the "legacy project" is coming around to body work. ive taken inventory of teh damage and to me its bad, but maybe its not as bad as i think. i've never attempted body work so this is new frontier for me.

there are two (well 3) spots im most concerned about teh level of difficulty i might be getting into:

the underside of the cab, where i'm going to call it bottom of the lower hinge pockets, both drivers and passenger sides have rusted through and the top of the windshield





other areas include bottom rear corners of the cab, the rocker panel on the passenger side is bent, and both door steps need replaced. as well both lower "rear" front fenders are rusted through and at least one headlight eyebrow...
