Question 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

Don't think it was in an accident - doesn't look like any shady body work going on over there.
