Preservation not restoration Martino build

[Martino patina]

Hello to everyone I am posting a new build thread for my 1967 gmc 1 ton truck. It's a all original never been touched old mason truck only thing not original is the seat and bed floor. It has a 305e V6, 4 speed trans and a ho72 rear with 5.14 gears. I want to rebuild everything that is struturaly bad and repair it to make the truck as solid as it was when new. All the rust has made the bed and boxes weak. I am trying to only fix what needs it and save the patina and then have it clear coated after all repairs are completed.
