Unless you find a truck in Arizona rust is just part of it. On my 69 c10 on the passenger side the inner cowl was rusted completely out along with the piece under the cowl, the rocker panels, cab corners, inner rockers, floor pans. I bought a donor cab at a salvage for $120 and started taking off what I needed. Just a lot of labor but I got $1500 worth of replacement parts for $120 and they were original rather than reproduction.
