    Buy another truck or go through insurance.

    1.....saws all @ 299.00
    2 .... bi- metal blades @ 18.50
    I.....roll of 4mill visqueen @ 69.50
    4 rolls of duct tape @ 6.39 each × 4 = 25.56
    1...12 pack of Bud light @ 13.99
    You total cost parts & labor will be 436.55
    You probably have 5000.00 deductible on your insurance policy.. oh wait I bet you don't have insurance..
    Either way it's gonna cost ya 436.55 plus tax

    Depends how deep the pockets are. If its bad enough to need a complete cab, its probably easier to scrap the truck. Probably lots of hidden damage that won't be found until the cab is off. Probably best to part it out or buy a similar truck to replace it and use the wreck for spare parts.

    I would not be suprised to see the bill exceed $20k for a cab/sleeper swap. I'm seeing complete cabs listed online for anywhere between $4500 and $8000. Bet you'll be looking at a minimum of 30-40 hours plus whatever might be broken on your truck or on the brand-used cab.
