Thanks for the input. My welding skills are fair at best but i have managed a few patch pannels on my 63 LWB that are not to bad, thank god for a grinder, I found a 78 shell locally that i can pick up for 250.00 that has a near perfect pas bed side thinking we might just leave the fuel door as this is NOT a restoration by any means. A "full pop" blazer as he calls it has been his dream truck for as long as i can remember so im just going for solid(no rust) and safe. Really got lucky on this one no rust in the floors or rockers that i have found yet. Still have to find a good front clip and a new hard top for it. So far i have decided that finding a top that the owner does'nt think is made of gold is going to be the hardest part.
