None in my opinion and I've restored dozens of customer trucks let alone currently building 3 '67s for myself right now , every body seam in these trucks has some extent of hidden surface rust from the "patina " trucks to the $200k restorations , like I said I'd be more concerned with the windshield / cowl area and using the right 3M self leveling seam sealer on the roof seam also using good body sealer where appropriate on the body seams . Reach up behind your dash and wipe your hand ... I'll bet it comes back out with orange surface rust , condensation happens thru out .No car/truck manufacturer plans on having their products lasting 50 years . A lot of these trucks survived pretty well considering how they were built so many years ago . Many guys seem to forget there 50 years old , Not designed to sport 500 hp with dropped suspensions on a simple riveted frame ! With the current trend to build a dropped race truck and trash all the simple stock items a bone stock truck will not only be hard to find in the years to come they will also be worth more than their restomodded cousins in the years to come . Choose how you rebuild wisely , follow the current trend or build a reasonable stock investment ! Want to make some serious $ fast find a base model '67/68 and clean it up nicely without going crazy keeping it as stock as possible and have it ready to sell to any new truck Chevy dealer by the end of 2016 ! Every dealership in the us will want one on their showroom floor when they turn 50 . It would sure make selling the new $55,000.00 trucks easier when you show the customer one in great shape that's 50 years old ! I'm willing to bet a donut that I'll be able to trade 2 (stock) '67 short beds for a brand new 2017 Chevy truck !
