Does anybody have pictures of a pretty decent stock condition room seam? Particularly near the pillar area. I was stripping back some paint and noticed that the seams were leaded in and was wondering if that was common, or even stock? Whoever did it seems (no pun intended) like they put another seam in the lead to make the line prominent. Of course, water got behind this and started the corrosion that I am "happy" to fix.


Pictures to show what I have:




Passenger Side Top of Cab Seam

 

 

Thank you for the pictures. I should have mentioned that this is at the door curve at the top. So looking from the side, on the pillar.

 

Ill try to get you something later. I lost my pictures a while back someone else will probably post one soon before i can send mine.

 

Thank you. And no hurry, I've got plenty of time before the body will be ready for primer, let alone paint.

 

I had some lead in my seam also but its a 49



lead spot in seam Lt side

 

Thank you. Mine looked like it was stock; didn't seem like it had too much paint on it, and there was nothing under it. But that's not saying much if the person doing it did it right, but it peels off pretty easily...

 

I'm sure that it was under paint and primer for what ever its worth

 

Oh it was under paint and primer, but it didn't look like part of the respray that had been done on some sections.

 

I haven't noticed any lead used in the drip rails on either of my 1950 cabs. I don't know if this picture helps. The drip rails got bent up probably by someone lifting the cab with a strap and not protecting the rails with a block of wood.
