I have a C10 I am restoring, and have some seam sealer questions. The cab was blasted and is currently in bare metal and Im trying to make the a decision on what to do with some of the seam sealer.
I took most of the sealer out of the drip rail, it was cracked on a couple of the corners were the water would sit, other than that I couldnt get some of it out to save my life, I used a screw driver, wire wheel and while its knocked down good it is really stuck. Its still flexable and isnt rusting below it.
I have kind of the same thing on the back of the roof, where the two halves of the roof come together there is a seam. I havent messed with this yet as it is still flexable, isnt cracked anywhere and showed no issues before or after blasting. The factory did a really good job of making a nice bead and I doubt mine will come out as even and look as good as the one on there does now.
I guess what Im wondering is if I can epoxy over these areas and continue on and leave them? On the drip rail after epoxy I would add new sealer to level everything off , on the roof seam just leave it as is. Thanks.
