Beautiful truck Postsedan! I’ve done 5 67-72 trucks and I ended up replacing rockers, cab corners, door bottoms, kick panels, fender cups, core support, inner fender on all of them. Even the “rust free” ones. I quickly learned there was no such thing. Either they’ve already been fixed, bondoed or we’re slowly rusting from the inside out. The edp panels offer better protection than factory and I coat them all on the inside with Por15. I’m finishing up a 72 Blazer Highlander and I’ve replaced almost everything except for firewall and windshield frame. People thought I was crazy when I paid $12k for it 7 years ago but, looks like I’ll get the last laugh with how crazy prices have gotten.
