Ha! ^^ Spoken like a guy that knows a thing or two about what lies beneath.

There's plenty of rust and cracks in the front part of the frame. It's terminal.
Many moons ago, I drove a '69 88 in Marine Blue like in the video. It's frame rusted through over the front axle and cracked.
As the cracked progressed, the front began to twist and it developed Marty Feldman headlights.
Then the fan began contacting the shroud, so I removed the shroud. Then it began touching the radiator, and so it goes.
We just parked it and salvaged all the good stuff.

This truck will need the frame replaced before I can safely do much travel.
But that'll have to wait a couple years. Not prepared to dive that far in just yet.
