Thanks for the reply. Ideally I would prefer to have the pro's do it but there's one small problem with that. I'm in the military and at least in my area(and quite a large distance around) the price for "specialty" work, especially on older cars/trucks is quite inflated. The unfortunate truth is that there's a lot of new Pvt's and Pfc's who will pay whatever price simply bc they just don't know better. I hate to "go there" like this but ive taken my truck to several shops for rust repair estimates and the quotes were OUTRAGEOUS, I'm talking buying 2 or 3 other trucks for less outrageous and all the shops were booked for years out...I'm in a location where I HAVE to do things on my own or I'll never get my truck back on the road...hate to get all mushy about it but that's how it is around me
