I really love these trucks, especially the later ones with the honeycomb grills. I am 19 years old and have quite abit of tools (my dad's). I really want to get a 72 truck. The ones i see in illinois have rust in the rockers, cab corners, floor supports, and floorboards. Is this common. I don't know anything about bodywork, and my dad knows more than a little about motors. There are a few guys around that do body work who i could talk to. I need some advice for buying a project truck. Have most of you replaced the areas i mentioned? Should i look somewhere else for a truck. I would really like a shortbed 2 or 4 wheel drive, or longbed 4 wheel drive. I have been looking at patch panels and noticed that alot of the parts are dirt cheap...does this mean that they are low quality? Where are some good places to get parts of anykind. please help, any advice appreciated.
