For helping keep this great
old truck web site

Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 335 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 335 | i'm concerned that even with media blasting and priming that rust will migrate out in the area below the rain gutter where the burb sides meet the roof assy. should i seam seal this area? its a big "crack". Anyone ever have a problem with rust coming back out of this seam? I dont know whether the media blasting got all the rust cause ya cant really see in there. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | it'd be a good idea to use some sealer in the gutter, and on the inside - that area is actually 3 pieces, the roof, the side and the gutter piece itself pinched between them - condensation inside tends to run down the curve and get into the unfinished joint from the back, seen lotsa old panels/burbs with bubbles in the bottom of the gutter, never seen any below the gutter
