Newbie Aid

[StingRay]

Welcome from Saskatoon. Sounds like you got a good deal at 800 bucks. The floor, corners, rockers, etc are all repairable. If you are diy guy and have the tools it's just time a few hundred dollars worth of patch panels. Many items are upgradable from newer generations of trucks and as said faq has quite a bit. If there is something you want to try just ask as some member has probably tried it before you. As for looking for another cab good luck. Most of the ones I find up here have all of the standard rust. You'd need to find one already restored by somebody else.
