Gilbert,
Had a similar road with my 50 3600...replaced floor, toe board and cowels.
Some critical points to remember are:
1. Use reference points as you tear down to assure your firewall holes align
and the firewall angle is rebuilt as it should be. Measure and record these
measurements of whe
I suggest also to use cross bracing tack welded to keep cab in shape.
Be careful where you lift so not to bend or distort.

Body shop estimate without seeing project vehicle:
$6,000
Isn't there other parts of this truck that hold the
sentimental value that would allow for less investment
for a 25% of cab structure replacement?

Evening Folks,
I am almost ready to put the 58 GMC Suburban Carrier Pickup on the road and
find that over the period of the last several years I have managed to
lose 2 of the
headlight retainer rings and the buckets for the drivers side low beam (2L) and
the passenger side high beam (1R).
