Also, unless you are a metal expert in rust repair, when doing a future restoration, stick with either all aftermarket metal or fix all the original metal, don't mix and match, it will be a nightmare. Key Parts has good aftermarket thickness guage metal for these trucks.

Just an FYI, the hood in the bed of that truck in the picture is a 60 or 61, only the chevy 62-66 had the same hood.

Cheers, and good luck
