MetalMan, I was very lucky, my truck didn't have any rust holes (cancer). When I got the truck it had a metal (steel) camper on it that was made for that truck (53). As for as I can tell this truck had never had any hard use and it was very well taken care of. Yes, it had a lot of surface rust which came right off with the blasting. Please don't get me wrong, I understand what you are saying.
