If the frame is solid and the cab is good, sure it’s worth it. If you really want a drivable Advance design truck your going to have a minimum of four to five grand invested. In your case a brand new bed from Mar-K wood and all, will run you under two grand delivered. Glass rear fenders about two hundred each plus shipping and the rear is done. The engine if it isn’t blown could be completely rebuilt for around three thousand. Now, does it have the front clip??? All of that is available new also. Then again you can keep your eyes open for used parts and do it for a whole bunch less.
I wouldn’t bat an eye at spending $400 for a good 5 window cab, unless someone had started to butcher it. The corner windows and frames alone are worth a couple hundred even if the rest of the cab is wasted with rust.
