ok so the rain gutters when i bought my truck were filled with bondo, but it was cracking, so i took it all out.. now i noticed they were geting kinda rusty so i just hit em with naval jelly and sanded. Now i wanna fill them back up with something so that water doesnt sit, but i dont know wat substance to use: bondo, caulk, etc??

What you need is a paintable "drip rail sealant" I am sure other's will chime in with their preferences and I am sure you can find good quality sealants at the local auto body paint shop. Here's one I found using the internet. Remember preparation is the key to avoiding failure. drip rail sealant

You didn't say which year truck you have but depending upon year, it could be a good idea to drill a small hole on each side to allow water to drain. Especially true on 60-66's.

K-10,

You got that right, I always wondered why the factory did not put holes in our drip rails?????

They did, they look like little louvers on the front corners. They are so small though, they would need to be cleaned out often to be of any good,
