Fastest Time to Rust

For the people on here that have bought these trucks when they were new, how fast would it take for the 70's models to rust through? I had a couple of people tell me the other day that at the time a new truck would have rust holes in the bedside in two or three years. I know the 70's models were pretty crappy as far as corrosion prevention at the factory is concerned, and all of the original 70's model trucks that I know of are pretty rotten. Did they really rust out that fast?
