Open the wheel valves and clean the seating surface and check for crud. Bubble test the hose and stem with Mr Bubble and a paint brush.

Welcome Joe. The air entrainment can happen due to very un obvious sources. Usually return hoses that you would think would leak but don’t. Other sources are slave piston seals. I don’t know which Caiman you have, there is the MTV chassis version and the Caiman 2 with independent...

Well in that case that is fixable. Remove the dashboard and remove all rust, get a piece of angle iron to back it from underneath, attach it with rivets, epoxy, screws, welding. Prime with cold galvanizing paint, then topcoat.

Is that the tip of the iceberg, meaning how are the sills under the doors? If those and the rear cab panel area are all rusted out then yes, swap cabs.
