Default Unrepairable damage?

So if you've seen my other posts you may know that I'm rebuilding a truck in honor of a special person who has passed. Anyway.

I was wondering if there is some damage that just can't be repaired? The reason why I was is because there are some good sized dents in my cab and roof. I'm already going to have to do extensive body work to it but if I have to get a whole new cab, I might just scrap the plan. (And the truck)

Well like the old saying.... "Anything is possible." And depending how bad you want it... It can be fixed.
And because this project is in honor of a recently passed friend. I think it deserves the effort

Thanks! I'm taking it to a place near where I live to get it all looked over.

Default Window frame/ Door Frame straight?

If the windowframes and doorframes are straight, it can usually be saved. If they are bent or the cab is too expensive to repair, replacing a cab really isn't all that hard. If it is a legacy project, I'd do it.
The last time I fixed a cab I found myself at the far end of the project wishing I had just replaced the cab to start with, I would have had a nicer job.
