Why don't you do body part replacements, cut out what's bad and replace with new made pieces, there out there I believe, you do have to have a tig welder and is easier and better to me than a cab swap cause you keep the oringinal cab, or do you doubt you ability to figure out cutting out only what you need to, to put in the new pieces? I used to be scared about that option, I got over it real quick when I figure out how hard it is to change cabs and replace fenders.

It doesn't look bad to me, looks as if it only needs cab corners, etc. or something, cause I can't see anything wrong from a distance.

I'd get the ones from Rock Auto though.

Just use a high speed cutter wheel of some type and wait till you get your piece(s) in before you start cutting, don't cut out too big of an area.

My name is Patrick and I live about halfway between San Antonio and Austin. I normally go to Pick-N-Pull or U-Pull-It on the southside of San Antonio, but my last visit revealed that they have crushed many of the dodges they had. The ones left are all half tons and don't have a single straight part on them. Austin salvage yards are almost all 10 years or newer on their models.

I'm looking for doors, fenders, a dually bed, stock driver side seat, and some other nick nack stuff. I just bought my 1993 d350 extended cab last month and the previous owners did not treat her well and now I'm playing the maintenance game. Currently finishing an entire chassis rebuild, both front and back, and doing the entire brake system.
Where it is pretty broad. I live in Cibolo.
