Re: Common rust areas and whether to bail on a resto
You might want to post some pics of the problem areas, but from your description, it sounds like par for the course on these trucks except the bed. If you need a new bed floor, that's not that serious but it's a fair bit of work I imagine.
My WA truck was rust-free but came out of California. Unless you're getting a southwest dry truck, you're going to have some rust to contend with.
I'd do a thorough inspection if you haven't already, checking the cab corners and other common trouble spots, and if there are no more big surprises, I'd go ahead. But it helps if you can do some of the work yourself, as rust repair does get expensive.
