Drip rails

I am working on a 71 C10 truck. Is it seam sealer that is used along the top and sides of the drip rails? What is the best stuff to use to redo those sections?
Thank you for any advise!!
Jon

Yes it's seam sealer.

Evercoat 6023 "Control Flow"(2-part epoxy, 2-plunger gun req'd) is best and what I use for exposed seams like drip rails, but 6022 or the single-plunger alternatives 822 or 823 I've heard work just about as good.

Re: Drip rails

RSGT, how did you remove the old seam sealer? The seam sealer that is on there now is just a little cracked on certain parts so I figured I would just replace it all.

I used a hammer and a screwdriver and a wire brush on a drill.
