To patch or swap the cab

I have a '79 f-150 4wd thats spent most of its life in Montana and it shows the effects. The driver's side corners is rusted completly and the bed kind of rough. My main concern is the top of the cab looks like it has been caved in and filled with bondo which is now cracking. My question is would it be better to chop the top and weld on another one or just swap the cab.

I'd have to say swap the cab - there's a real nice one for under $600.00 on eBay right now...
