Not sure if you are using solid or blind rivets, but Home sells aviation riveting tools.

Frequently they have used tools like 2X rivet guns for installing solid rivets. As for the blind rivets, there are a number of hand rivet tools for "pop rivets" that will pull a blind rivet.

I have guns for installing Huck and Cherry and Cherry Max blinds. You won't like the price of the guns or the nose pieces, so unless you have hundreds to install, purchase a good pop rivet gun and use it.

drilling is the worst parts, esp the doubled up door posts.

I too used a hand gun for both my trucks. the arms were about 18' long though.
