I am by no means a expert on any of the subjects on this forum. Just completed my first "restore" on a 37 gc. Always wanted to do a truck so thought I better get going. I didn't care about the money, I wanted it to look original and I have always liked RUST . Did a frame off, powder coated frame, new rear, 57 235 gone through, S 10 5 speed front disc brakes,and went through everything on the bottom. Cleaned with dawn soap and vinegar and coated with Penotrol. Very few rust holes, lots of original paint and patina. Still have to put Penotrol on back fenders, waiting for darker rust. I love it and have lots of compliments. Do what you want, it's your truck. Bill
