Some Bodywork

So I started cutting some sections out of the donor cab I bought. I also got my papers in the mail today about our career center at my high school. I will be taking Collision Repair and Auto Refinishing. So I hope to using the skills I learn in that to help on my truck. Also is there any other parts besides cab corners, floors, and rocker panels I should look to see if they are worth keeping from the donor cab?

Firewall, particularly along the seam where it's welded to the toe board. The seam sealer over the years shrinks and this area rusts out. A-pillars, sometimes water gets under the windshield gasket and rusts out the pinch welds. Rear window pinch weld too.

Okay thanks, I probably would have never thought of those.

I have always wondered about this, is the roof just pretty much a cap that is welded to the shell or what?
