John, have a look here
This is fellow bolter Czechmans pics (Hope you don't mind Woody)
He's been there,done that as far as cab resto's concerned!
There's also some pics here of the cab corners and fender edges on mine, thankfully that was as bad as mine got!
Also try posting this in the paint and body section,you may get more responses.

I hope some of these pics help.

Czechmans pics are incredible. If you want to see what a novice can do look here, I was impressed with myself! That is until it falls out after I painted the truck!

Here you can see the rust cancer which had eaten a hole through the inner brace and the outer hood skin.

Below is after I cut out all the bad metal and cut/formed a piece of metal to fit. I forgot to take a pic of that step, so you see it welded in already. Click next a few times to see the final.

Again, I am a total novice but thought I did a pretty good job. Just tack weld and let it cool so there is no warpage.

Good luck.
