The lowball estimates are going to involve slapping some Bondo over the rust, primer, and paint. In 3-5 years the truck will look pretty much like it does now. The higher estimates will involve replacing the rusty metal and doing a lot more detailed prep work before painting. I seriously doubt that the low priced shop will remove the fenders or do much of anything else necessary to give you a quality job. Buyer beware!
