Re: my 68
Sorry to hear your cab was in such bad shape. I know how you feel. I was in the same boat and ended up getting anther one instead of going through the extensive rust repair on my 67.

Re: my 68
Here are some pictures of my cab. I hope it is what you are looking for. Unfortunetly I did not do the work and the person that did, I have lost contact with. So I don't have any more information then what you already know.
Sorry.
