Fort Knox: I can understand why your 76 pickup had a lot of bondo in it. I bought one of those pieces of junk new. I honestly think it started to rust before I got it home. I kept it for a number of years and never had any trouble with the drive train but the body was just junk. The door, fenders, floor pan and anything else you can think of turned to rust in a hurry. Not too long after that I left GM for good and haven't owned a new years for years. I still tinker with the old ones. Allen
