I go to a wholesale auction that sells 2000-3000 cars every Wednesday. It's rare that any of them are perfect... even the newer more expensive cars. Of the 50 something cars I've owned, my favorite was a '98 Trooper. It had several dings and scratches. Since it wasn't perfect I never worried if it would get another blemish.

There is a certain freedom that comes with accepting it's not going to be perfect. The problem is that if you fix these... it's eventually going to get more. Personally, I'd go the "it's a truck" route and let it go. I would prevent that spot from rusting with some touch up paint.

Keep in mind that painted sections don't age as well as the factory finish. Over time the touched up area may look worse than the original damage.
