There is one thing you can do when shopping for a older truck take a cow magnet with you and a smooth cloth rag. If you suppect there might be body filler in the doors or fenders use the rag and magnet trick if it does not stick be aware of what the seller is trying to tell you as it could be rust or filler hidden under the paint job. Look down the sides to see if there wavie or washboard looks to the panels. Take a light and shine in in the dark corners of the insise or outside of the truck for signs of rust or damage from a sloppy repair. There are a lot of very honest people in this hobby and on the flipside some really slime buckets too.
On your 60-66 trucks look for rust build up on the front fenders and inside the floor, kick panels and on the back corners for rust. Again take a light for looking in these areas even in the day time.
Good luck on your search.
