How much lead work can one reasonably expect to find on a 52 chevy 3100? I'm replacing floor board, partial toe board. inner cowel and outer cowel. The majority of the lead work found is where the hood would meet the cowel, almost a 1/4 in in places.

what you might expect is joints at the top of the A pillars being leaded, nothing else unless there was a screw up at the factory or repairs in the first 10-15 years of it's life

The seam at the top of the outer cowl panels was leaded as was the bottom and top of the A-pillars. Also, the lower to upper cab seam was leaded at the door jamb.
