Well, turns out it's not QUITE as rust free as I orignally thought

Ha, ha, some surprise there,huh? A 50+ year old truck with some cancer?! I was sanding the edges of the doors this morning so I could primer them before installing the new door seals and found some minimal (appearing) rust-through on the door bottoms. They are tiny holes but of course when I get in there it'll undoubtedly be more. I need to look up a thread on repairing door bottoms in case I have to peel back the door skins. But thanks for the kind words. I'm loving working on this truck bit by bit. On one hand I want to do it all at once and on the other, I enjoy doing one thing perfectly (well, close...for a frame-on) and then moving on to the next.
