I realise there is the age difference but rot is rot,whether it's a '57 or a '64! If I remember correctly, he had to cut out the rust and replace it with donor panels cut from a junk truck. Here's a link to his Photobucket page have a look through the pics or alternatively shoot him a PM. I'm pretty sure he'll give you some good advice. Good luck.

I would strip that thing down and see how bad the rest of the rust is. I would get it sand blasted by some one who has done old cars for some of the resto shops. If the entire top is rusted I might be looking for another CAB. You might could just get a top. or cut out a piece of a top like that.. If the floor, rockers, cab corners and the pillars are gone... I would be looking for a cab myself.

Worked great initially, time will tell if the rust reappears. The hole your finger is in seems like a bigger kettle of fish. I second Michael's assessment if there are big holes. However, sand blasting may take out metal that may be saved with por-15 and fibreglas sheets.

Well, my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' 55.
