When is it too much

First off, Special-K is dead on; a little rot is teh same as a lot in those outer panels. The other thing I'm beginning to find as I dig in is that rockers are one thing, but if the supports need replacing, you necessarily have to get into the cab mount areas, and it's a big project. my $.02

Yep... two of my frame off's used sheet metal from out west.

The cab required outer rockers, two dog legs, a kick panel and some creative welding on the bed floor.

The K5 was outer rockers, floor pans, kick panels and dog legs.

These were both "rust free" California sheet metal...

If you're interested, I have an Arizona cab from a 67 with a big window that only has one spot of rust on the passenger kick panel. The rockers and cab corners are rust free. I bought it for my 67 but the city is giving me a lot of grief about my truck parts. The cab has a small dent in the back that can be easily massaged out. It also has snaps on the inside rear window for a camper boot. I figured it's easier to weld up a couple holes and not have to worry about rocker panels. I'm looking to get $500 for it.

Not sure I can get it out of there in a timely fashion for you.

Pics would also be helpful, but this is not a WTB thread.

I will get you some pics....

Sorry, I assumed it was a WTB thread since it's posted in the classifieds

Interesting... I didn't post it here. Ok, that works then.
