It's fianlly here! It's not rust free, but it is better than anything you can find in Michigan for $300. I can't wait for it to warm up so I can start working on it. My fiancee is just thrilled to death about it too. Now it takes up her parking spot in the garage

Thanks Jaquesdean! You the man!

Damn good find for that price. Kinda threw me off there for a minute, never seen one sitting that way and was wondering how the firewall got cut off, lol. Looks like you got some inner rocker metal to lay down and maybe one support?

Yeah, got both rockers to do, both inners, maybe one support but I might be able to fix just the bad spot. Also a couple small holes here and there. Some floor parts, but not the whole thing. All in all, I'm happy. If you have seen the one I took off you would understand! This is 100000000000X better than that one.

looks good, i'd be happy to find one with that little rust up here. Mine had way more then that when i started on it.

My original cab was total trash. It had no metal above the windshield, no rockers, no firewall behind the heater box, and a huge leak under the driver side cowl. Oh, and both floors were gone too. I cut it into little bits and threw it away. This at least has some solid steel to weld to.
