Re: Pawpaw's 55 GMC.......my new project

have you had a task force truck before, do you know the common rust spots?
cab corners
windshield eyebrow
lower door hinge pillars where the step, pillar, cab mount and lower front fender mount all come together
front section of floor
inner cowls
steps and rockers
rear cab mount support area
roof area around/above the rain gutter
rear window around/under the rubber for the glass
front fender eyebrows above the headlight
front fender lower rear area usually right where the vertical brace is behind the skin
front fender rear inner lower brace
front fenders on the top rear area where the rear of the hood would be roughly
rad support where the lower mounts are
rear fenders on front edge above the step
rear fenders on the inner mounting lip

if you get time post up some pics of how things look. if youve never had one of these just look online at what repair parts are available and then check your truck for those spots to ensure it is actrually solid. sandblasting or media blasting would also give you a good idea but then you gotta do something with it. sometimes a great looking truck from the field turns out to be swiss cheese after blasting. still gotta pay the guy though. yours looks pretty good from the one pics of the cab. any previous damage or repairs you know of?
