Bead or seam across the back of the cab question ? ? ?
Howdy all. I'm slowly getting my ducks in a row to start sandblasting my cab on my '47 KB7.
So far the truck is pretty rust free except on the bottom of the bead that runs around the back side of the cab. Is this a bead rolled in one piece of sheet metal? Or is it a seam where two pieces join?
If it's two pieces I'm assuming the top and bottom half have the same bead and they are interlocked and welded together? I'm just wondering so I have some idea before I get elbow deep into this. I'm not working twards a concourse restoration but I would like to avoid gratuitous bondoing. I feel good about my ability to repair every other spot where there is a bit of rust, but this spot makes me give pause.
Thanks everyone
