So that's the left basically cut just gotta clean it up abit started the right there is no wires to move on either side as there in a high enough spot and fuel lines don't get in the way either ill do a rite up one day I am taking photos my departure angle is gonna be great after this
It's only cost me $70 to get what I need to do the job I've got all the tools already to do the jobQuote:

First up the cut and shut, thats easy you get some flat sheet say 2mm thick maybe some off cuts from a sheet metal place and you weld it in, seam seal it and paint it. Your after market tail light will cost you say $100 a pair your wire them in BUT. Coz you got rid of the lights on the bumper your spare tyre now will live on the roof basket unless you want a defect. You still need to give it some form of protection so you make quarter bars, not with 2mm exhaust pipe coz its pretty much useless if it takes a strike but out of some 4mm steam pipe and some 4mm flat plate, say you want a double tube like your pic you'll need atleast 4 elbows say at $30 each the some straight pipe probably at around $30 a meter and just to be safe you get 3 meters and that will need to be painted or powder coated so another $50. You'll also need to make mudflaps so you dont get pinged for that aswell, say that cost you $20 for the pair.
Just from my rough guessing of prices i just cost you $380 assuming you can get the 2mm and 4mm flat plates for nothing and you don't get a bigger roof basket.
I said to do a body swap coz the simple fact of the matter is, eventually more rust is going to pop up and i was looking at the bigger picture or you could say my own logic. I'm not trying to knock you mate, i rekon thats a top effort having a crack at some serious body mods and good on you for having a go and i'm just saying to look at the long term and not the simple fix now....
Too late now the cuts begun ^^^

Yeh i know growler, i was just pointing out other expenses plus he can always change the cab later on down the track if he has to.
Actually it's gonna cost me the $100 mark as I have a pipe bender and steel already in the garage welder also in garage I've got it all sitting in my garage it's gonna cost $100 out of my pocket so as I said $100
Add another $40 on for beers.
