Before I started tearing into my 49 1/2 ton, I noticed that there was a hairline crack in the paint on both sides at the base of the windshield pillars (about 1" long from the door jam out). I know this is stress related where the cab parts were welded and then soldered. With the paint off, the cracks are no longer visible but I know the weakness is still there. Will opening the area up into a small "V" and refinishing with a quality filler be good enough? I'm thinking the filler would be more flexible than the solder was.
Thanks
