Hello. New to aircraft purchasing and considering a piper 28 series aircraft most probably from the 60's or early 70's.

Call me silly, but I have an unfounded fear of the wings or stabilizer separating in flight from such an ancient aircraft.

During a pre-purchase inspection is there a method that the A&P can *thoroughly* inspect the connection points between the wings, struts, stabilizer, and all control and physical connecting surfaces and beams, struts, so a clean bill of health can be had?
 
You will want to make sure Piper Service Bulletins SB1006, SB977 and SB1244 have been done.
