    Yessss! Make sure you take your time sealing both inside and outside the cab with seam sealer. Seriously there is no such thing as overkill.

    Stuff. Also things.

    Just take your time and make sure you have good access to all of the welds, both inside and outside the cab. The trouble spots are typically right up at the top to the outside, which ends up behind the clutch pedal and the AC blower.

    The grinding on the welds and the cleanup is the worst part, IMO, but the seam sealer and whatever else you use will stick a shit ton better if you take the time to do good prep.

    Good luck, man! Can’t wait to see those Dirty Fives when you’re done!

    I did both, seam seal first, then flex seal. I think @jubei primed it first, then applied the sealers.

    Good Luck to you!

    My coworker had back surgery courtesy of the US finest VA hospital never, recovered for 6 months, felt like a new man (not the ghey way...), proceeded to catch up on all his fitness routine in like a month, F-ed his back again, will have to revisit the scalpel in the future...
