Default Roof rust

So i have a 63 that i bought almost a year ago and have been in the process of dechevyfying it. Last owner had a 350/400 combo in it but that has been pulled out. I also now have a correct hood and soon to have a correct grille in chrome and am working on getting a 64 dump truck with a 305 and 5 speed combo to put in my 1000. Now i am not a body guy short of bolting panells together and my cab has a ton of rust. Previous owner lived in austin area and was a firm believer in bondo and fiber glass. Most of the rust im not to worried about except i have big rust holes around the drip rails and around in the door frame where it does that 90° turn headed back towards the firewall. I have been looking for patches for these areas but they dont seem to be reproduced by anyone. Is this cab saveable or should i go about swapping cabs. I have access to a big window chevy for $500 and a couple of normal chevys in various conditions for $200-400. Like i said i am not a body guy, but i am pretty good on the mechanical end of things, any advice is appreciated.
