Your not alone on this. I bought a 69 a few months ago that I couldn't look at so a friend checked it out. He was so impressed that it ran that he said its great buy it, and I did. When I got it home they had riveted tin on everything and bonded over it. So don't feel bad, everybody here has had issues. You'll see some of these guys buy a truck and replace the frame then the cab or bed. Your doing a great job at rebuilding yours. When your done you know your truck will be solid.
