Somehow I missed the April posts so, WELCOME TO THE BOLT buddy. I noticed one aspect of your 51 that reveals the quality of the truck. The bed rails are dent free, a rare thing for a truck that old and an indication of easy treatment throughout its life. A lot of surface rust is no big deal and they all need the four corners replaced but as far as needing a lot of body work you will miss a lot of that.
