Mike

My cab was similar, although I didn't have as much rust in the lower door hinge pockets. There are replacements for those, although they don't have the inner metal and weld nuts. But those are pretty straightforward and the bends can be done on a sheet metal brake. I was able to brace across the cab with a piece of angle between the upper bolts on the lower hinges.

I have a pic of the steering wheel from the left front wheel well on mine. And both front cab mounts were gone. You can review what I went thru on the photo link in my signature.

You can do it. We're here to help over the years it will take you.
