When to say when...

At which point do you guys say enough is enough and opt to find a new cab/truck?

Seems I am finding more and more rust and it is neverending. With my body skills seems like it would be cheaper and more cost effective to start with a better base. Just wondering what experiences you guys have had.

Yeah, what he said. Some of us just tack on patch panels like mad and clean em up real nice since it's cheaper. Others prefer to re-buy and even just start over. End result is the same.

It's still a lot of work to take the can all the way off and put a new one on... and put everything back together.

It's all a matter of time, labor and cash... either way.
