You make a fair point. To be clear I don't plan to leave the rot. I agree it needs to be repaired. I will have to patch the lower cowls and inside kick panels. I differ on the cab corners as one is near perfect and the other has surface pitting. That one might need more repair than meets the eye, but we will see.
I would like to then hire a paint shop to try to match the original paint on the patches. There is a great deal of excellent original paint on this truck (And a white pin stripe that circles the cab just below the windshield? Never seen that, but I want to preserve what is left!) and the green and rust brown compliment each other well. But are you saying that the other surface rust can't be halted if done properly? I don't care if it may take re-application of whatever surface treatment I pick, I just want this truck to tell a story.
Thanks for all the input, folks.
James
