While I had the cab on its back I fixed some rust spots on the front inside roof panel. I wish I would've replaced that part while I had the outside skin off. Having a box brake and a shrinker/stretcher made that job better. Not easy lol but better. The cause of all the rust on the cab was from a poor paint job years ago. They filled the drip rails with a coating that shrank and cracked letting water in. I was told the truck sat for 10 years under a lean too and just collected moisture. Anyways she's on the road to being complete again.
