That is also not a job to give to a shop. You don't know how they will "fix" those rcokers and believe me, most shops will not replace those with spotted in new ones. If it were mune, I would start looking for another cab. Just remember, the VIN tag is on the cab so if you don't want to have problems with the DMV for title washing get the rivets from one of the board members here and transfer the vin tag from the old cab to the new one using the CORRECT rivets.
Who needs rivets? Most just take the whole panel section with the plate attached and weld it in to the other cab.
