Hello All,

This is my first post. I'm not new to squares but I am new to wanting to actually fix the rust and rot on this particular Truck as I think its worth saving. The truck being an all original (exception being wheels) 1974 K10 Cheyenne Super.

I am trying to get an idea of the cost of fixing the trouble areas. I'll add the pics I have. I do know it is a subjective topic but, as I said a general idea.

Apart from these areas the truck is very solid. Has a 90's 454 crate motor in it.

How does the cab look under the windshield? That one's the bitch. Everything else you can R&R except for the cab corners. Some aftermarket parts are ok and others are less than happy. Still cool we can get the sheet metal, even if it's not perfect.
You would need to scrap the trim... but LMC has reproduction if you wanted. If you replaced what you could and repainted, the trim would look totally getto and that's why I said you'll scrap it.
That trim was really vulnerable from day one.
