I bought one last week(85) and it sounds like yours is about as bad as mine. My 85 should have been 'laid to rest' about 10 years ago it's so bad.
The only reason I bought it was that it came with extra doors,fenders and hood that are in great shape. The rockers and cab corners really should have new metal welded in. The wrecking yards have a good supply of S10's and all the autobody (patch panel) supply houses have replacement parts,well the ones here do so I figured it would be that way nationwide. Bad thing about it though,I hate to go to the junk yard cause 80% of those look better than mine
Hey has that thing gotta Heme in it? No, it's a shevy not heme!

In our neighborhood, 2 blocks down the hill was a gas station that (to me) all the cool car guys hung out there. 32 coupes, 33 & 34 Fords as well, a sweet 56 Ford Beach wagon that was setup gasser...
