Cab Repair. Do you think its worth it?

Hiya!

for starters here i am finally going to attempt to repair my rusty ol' cab.
the big question right now is wether or not i just replace the whole cab.

Both floor pans are showing rust on the outside near the rockers, and the passenger floor pan has a nasty rust belt over top of the cab support which has also turned to dust.

cab corners on both sides are pretty far gone, and rockers are a complete write-off.

the kick panels (i think thats what they are called) are rotten at the bottom where they meet the floor pan.


passenger-side floor pan

passenger-side rocker

Driver-side Cab corner

Kick Panel?

Driver-Side Rocker.


What do you guys think?
i have never done any body work before, but i have a few experienced buddies who are willing to help me out and I have about half of the sheet metal that i need.

Is this a worthwhile job or am i wasting my time here?
