Was the radiator still usable? Or did you have it re-cored?
Alex, thank you for your feedback and yes, definetely, I'm according to you saying that if new metal is necessary, we tried to do the repair not "bubba style" but as smooth as we can.
Some panels was compromised and so, we saved what was possible and made brand new all the rest, like for the cab rear panel:
