Keith, comments you see in this forum are usually about 47-59 Chevy and GM trucks, but most any comments about GM trucks are welcome. I appreciate the improvements that GM has made in rust prevention but there wasn't any in the older trucks. They were built to rust out but usually were beat up and worn out before rusting apart, as trucks were bought to use back then. Thanks for the pictures and information, but the rust proofing must have started after the seventies, as the bed of most every mid-seventies GM truck around the Atlanta area rusted through above the rear wheels within a few years. My 96 Silverado has never had any rust at all, so things have improved.
