Blasted the back sides of all the panels and some misc parts then hit them with sealer and tore the rest of the truck down to get the cab/frame blasted and see if there was anything left ; ). Doors aren't terrible. Just minimal rust repair needed on the very bottom and a little of the skins. My grille surround is pretty bad but since I'm looking to keep the patina, it must be fixed.

Floors were pretty bad..rockers are toast, toeboard swiss cheese, lower cowls garbage. Someone had done previous rocker repair by slipping a new one over the old and riveting it in, then slopping on what seems like roofing tar. Complete mess!
