So I picked up a parts truck little bit ago. Cab is pretty shot in my eyes but wanted to see what you guys think before I scrap it. I've got a pretty decent crew cab so I don't need it. Have it on cl but getting sick of looking at it and not much interest. Here's the pics plus some dents in the roof.

If I had the equipment or had access to it, I'd consider it. If not, probably not. I think it all depends on if you have the time and patience to undertake it, and if you're confident you can do it.

Love to it would look nice sitting on my frame but like most things your probably on the other side of the earth. And I have the same mind set as @74 Shortbed freind who's passed. Metal work I'm all about it.

Thanks, he was a good guy and one hell of a bodyman and fiberglass guy, If I started to fix that it would end up a bigger mess than what it it is now, lol, it ain't my thing either, lol..

Ain't nothin to it but to do it. Hardest part is fitting everything in the dry run. It's just like a big puzzle and who is afraid or intimidated by puzzles? @ajdemello this could be a great learning experience for you. You don't need it so any thing short of totally destroying it will be a positive experience for you as long as you keep a positive mind set that your learning. This kinda stuff isnt learned over night.

Don't matter what time zone the site is, go to your profile and Preferences and set your time zone then all times will show up as your time.

You're absolutely right. Nothing to lose and potentially something to gain.
