Uhhh - That can't be good (A Pillar Seperating from Kick Panel???) - Fix it???
Just saw this on my truck the other day - never seen that on one of these trucks - the funny thing is that the kick panel isn't rusty @ all - only thing that needs to be replaced is the rockers and 1 cab corner - maybe from the leaky roof??? - but why wouldn't it be rusty?
Guess maybe I won't bother fixing this cab - I'll just keep saving my pennies for a good western one. What do you think??? Should I fix this cab - with the F'd up roof??? or just get another cab ???- I know where there are some (Good, as in they might only need a rocker or small floor patch) cabs for $400-$500 but have no doors and are completly stripped. - sound like a fair price? maybe I'll put this one on the road for now, get the new cab, do the body work and switch it out later - that way I don't have to tie the truck up that long. Oh well - surprisingly I'm not even really that mad about it
