I'm restoring a 72 GMC and have found using a brass backing plat to fill holes works well. The weld won't penetrate the brass and it usually leaves the backside relatively clean. What you've done works too and I've done that many time! Just something I've learned and thought I'd pass it on. Can't wait to see your truck completed!

Excellent work my dude. The only thing I would change on this build if it were mine would be using tractor paint instead of the expensive automotive paint, Tractor paint is not only less than half the price but it's more durable than automotive paint, if it's just a work/shop truck who cares if, it's used as a work truck and they have like 35 different colors including Flat and Matte Black, and if you don;t want the actual color you can but a pint of something else and create your color. I just built a 1980 Ford Truck as a daily driver/shop truck and used Majic Tractor paint and made my own custom color, i bought 3 quarts of A.C. Orange and 1 quart of Majic Brown in a empty 1 gallon can and mixed them together and shook them up to create a burnt orange color. Plus it's a 1 stage paint so you can cut and buff it after painting.

Cool you are back at it. Great truck. You may wan to try a copper spoon and plug welding those small holes. Hold spoon to the back and gently plug weld panel weld cant stick to the spoon so you end up with metal filler. You can get commercial spoons from Eastwood etc or make your own (I do). I use on my bikes for filling thin metal in tanks headlight buckets etc.
