patina or repaint

[twoskies]

hi guys
got a 1972 c10 medium green paint, original 350 4 bolt main, 4 speed, posi rearend, power brakes, power steering, am/fm slide bar radio, kinda like the patina but in indiana we all work on rust, so im taking bed off to fix rust on bed and then i can lift cab and fix corners rockers and outer floor pans also bushings while ive got it apart, already have new inner and outer fenders, core support, new radiator, guess my question is has any here just repaired rusty areas and tried to leave original paint alone as much as possible, ill post pictures as soon as i get token, but if anyone has a truck that has been mostly left alone on paint,would like to see welded panels against original paint ,maybe cleared (although from what ive read, clearing over old paint wont last),,post to this thread

thanks
