First thing, I'm going to try to save myself $250 or so and just straighten out the cab myself, so I can get a new windshield in it.

If I can manage that, I'll pat myself on the back, for sure. Couple creases that need to be worked out, but it shouldn't be too bad to square the doorways up, so the cab will be aligned halfway decently, and won't be torquing the new windshield.

Once that's done, and a driver's side window is put in, I'll just put it on the road, and take the insurance off Cara. Then the real fun begins.

If I can't fix the cab up enough to be to my liking - I'm not hard to please, it's a beater for now - I'll just go spend another $240 and get another cab, plus $10 in gas. With any luck, they'll let the cab go with a clean windshield and not charge me for it. (They're usually pretty nice to me at the junkyard.)
