No kidding! It has been so dead in here lately. Someone needs to come up with a hypothetical type question - anything so long as it is 1st gen specific.
o.k. then i had a 70 3/4 ton gmc truck and how would i have fixed the rusted out draging the ground bed / and the cab with no floor at all that droped and poped the gas tank? and the winshield frame that you could stick your fingers threw ? o and the frame rusted out in back you could bend by hand. but the frt fenders and hood were like cheery and the drive train was still going. any input on this wanted info question would be good if i still had it. hated to cut it up thow she was a stong ox, i misshere so.

As I have started to dig into my "rust free" '72 k5 project I have discovered all sorts of neat rust areas 
. I got really sad imagining what would happen if I don't take care of it. Then I read your post, thanks for painting the picture.

my dad was second owner from ex race car staffer at watkins glen race track. and it was 4x4 4 speed/205 350 44open knuk drum brakes/60ff 4.56 and would just go!!!!!! it had all sorts of old metel race tags on the glove box that i still have and it had stickers on roof in cab of the same stuff with lots of memorys. i bet if i found old pics of races it would be in there. se was brown and white roof and back of cab.my dad put on 8.5 western plow and it just plowed its guts out all the time. the truck got so bad i finaly striped it out and sent her to the scap pile.

Yep, has been awfully quiet - I did get my 454 fired up again after having the oil cooler off for about a month. Couldn't find the time to get one of the lines re-crimped. Life needs to slow down so I can have some free time!!!!! Until then, at least I get to look at my trucks when I feed the cats
