Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Friday I removed the A pillar from the quad cab. yoo can see in the picture of the top of the A pillar the rust. later in the day I cut out the rest of it and there is a hole about 3/4" in dia that when the rain gutter fails water can find it's way down to the bottom and rust out the cab floor like I see in both of the truck I have. the othe proble that let water in is the cab upper cowl. the water runs down to a gutter in side that channels the water to the bottom of the front fender and the bottom of the Apiller. if only Cheverolet rust profed these locations it would not be so bad. my 1971 truck cab does not have the 3/4' hole at the top and it is not rusted and rotted out the the suburban is. The both have rust and rot issue in the rain gutter.
