What to do with a rusted out K5

[HotRodScottsdale]

I'm in the same boat, got a orange 74 jimmy 4x4 with a cancer problem, passanger floor flexes with wind from the highway and the cab mount fell threw on its self and sits on the frame. Suprizingly the woman's the one telling me to keep it, shows how cool these trucks are

I posted a bunch of photos of the rust here. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=641421 I'll keep updates there as well

Thing is it drives great so worst case I drive a rusty K5 around.. I work from home so have plenty of time to tinker here and there.

Thankfully the rot on mine is not in any of the support. all the frame/floors are fine.

thanks guys
