Your right, its a lot different when an older vehicle gets hit. Especially when NOS parts are no longer available from GM. Besides that, there one more thing to consider. What happens when an excellent original factory applied paint truck gets into a fender bender? As an example, one of members JoesJunk type of trucks. Its value to collectors plumments! Its only original once! It can never be whole again, no body shop can bring it back to former self. As time and life goes on, these types trucks really need to be protected in a fault. Trucks that have already been rebuilt and repainted can always be rebuilt and repainted again, nobody will know the difference.
