I recently rescued a 1969 shortbed K10 from a southern california field. Thankfully it is about 90% original wheels and seat have been redone at somepoint in its life. Got it running last week. Hoping to drive it before end of summer.

Re: New, from So cal
Rust is surface for the most part. Driver cab corner is only small hole i have found. The drip rails are crusty too. The truck was actually driven until 2011.

Re: New, from So cal
So what does it need to be drive-able? What about those pics.

Re: New, from So cal
I have heard that if you take a piece of wood, and use C-clamps to hold it to the under side of the drip rail. You the use a torch, and clean wire brush to clear out the rust. Afterwards you can float in lead or lead free body solder to fill in the gaps nicely.
