Sounds like you're better off finding a clean replacement cab. Band Aids work short term.

It depends on how much rust he has, what he's willing to do, and how much he's willing to pay.

My cab is pretty rusty/bondo'ed. A new cab may be an easier route BUT where do I put that?

Thanks for the feedback guys. I realize I will need a new cab/major repairs and eventually I will restore it back to the baby blue but for now I want to drive and enjoy it. I just don't want it to have structural issues and also has anyone used POR15 on a pretty rusty cab?

I made the mistake of blowing it apart before and not being able to enjoy it for a while. I don't want to do that again unless I have to. Thanks again guys!

That being said, It's my opinion without seeing how crazy the rust holes are, that you should be fine to knock around town in it. I've seen some trucks up here in the North that you could see the frame rail under the holes in the floor, lol.
