Help guys....what to look for in a 1956 truck

[72freak]

To start, I have never had any of the pre-1960 trucks...........
I am going to look at 1956 Chevy truck tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. It is a resto-mod type vehicle. Custom frame, 4x4, lift, small block, bla bla bla.

On the body, cab, bed itself.......where are the "bad" places or typical rust prone areas that I need to look at? What else do I need to look at????

Thanks

Look at the rear cab corners, the head light buckets, the floor, under the dash, these are the areas that normally held water and debris that caused them to rot out...........

And look real good where the front fenders mount to the cab(bottom/rear).Over the headlight buckets is a problematic areas just like the cars.
