Patch everything or swap cabs?

Man, If it was mine, I'd use the donor cab, and swap dashes. Lots of spot welds, but you are talking a LOT of work on that rust repair.

You are absolutely right, i just fear that the same amount of work lay ahead of me to spray this cab to match the patina of the rest of the truck. I think If I went that route, I would put a more interesting dash in there while i was at it For now, I think the plan is to pick up these parts, use what I need for patch panels and part out the rest.

I need to catalog the amount of parts im getting...there is quite a bit. if i go full Porterbuilt , it might be easier to just get a bare frame to do that. That means I would have a stock chassis sitting around, and an extra cab and sheet metal...thats another truck! (=

I have 5 acre taste on a 3-car garage budget
