I'm not sure any 40 year old vehicle would hold up any better given the elements and road treatments they put on the roads. The issues I see don't seem to be happening in warmer climates. Before we blame GM for cheap steel, let's acknowledge a changing environment could be a contributing factor.

FYI, Toyota has had a major frame rot issue on trucks within the same vintage.
