Need advice on saving a cab or scrapping
Hey guys how is it going, I need advice on my cab. Should i fix it or replace it. Here's the problems..............................................
The cab is beat up from the bed hitting the cab from flexing while 4 wheeling the PO had the bed loose so it moved around a lot before I got the truck. I will post more pics if needed. |

If that is the only damage then definitely don't scrap it. If you don't want it someone else will. Use it or sell it.

Re: Need advice on saving a cab or scrapping
If the corners, sills, floors, hinge pockets and lower firewall are not rusted out then definately keep it, a little hammer and dolly work is a LOT easier than replacing rusted out panels. If you can easily find better ones at the right price then buy them up and start shipping them up north and to the east coast.
