Glad to see you back!

Looks like you may need a new or rebuilt radiator support, that one looks kinda rusted out. Yea, on those old trucks, you WILL find rust, unless the truck has been in a garage the hole time.Overall the 4th, 5th and 6th pictures look like some good metal work, bending just right.
thanks,
the hood is actually in pretty **** good shape compared to the other two.
those holes in the front are the worst of it and that whole lead edge is getting cut out and replaced with OER.
the other two hoods had split infront of the hinges on both sides and the lead edge was completely gone.

it sucks when you find rust but it sucks even more when you find NO rust because the metal is gone.......lol

thanks,
there will be some bondo on this truck but it isnt going to make the form of the truck,fill any holes,or be added in hopes of renewing structural rigidity.
the less i have to block, the better
