i wouldn't sweat the repair to the cab too much, a little tug on a frame rack with a tab spot welded on and then smooth it over with some bondo and then paint it. you will never be able to tell it was hit.

I doubt the floor is buckled

I think you are correct. The doors still open and close fine, no leaks, windows work. I would just about rather hunt the local yards for replacement doors and do it myself but the insurance folks are involved.

i can tell you from experience in working in body shops, your insurance company will be probably scouring for doors too.

The doors are long ago discontinued from ford same with the pinstripe decals.

The quote came back at $3,778 which included $364 for a new front door shell and $347 for the rear. They also quoted a used door(s) at $280. Wow!
