Filling Cab Seam
 
I'm about to try and fill the seam on the back of my cab. I am not a very experienced welder but have successfully been welding up holes for everything else. Just looking for advice. I know I need to take it slow but is there anything else that I need to know or watch out for?
Thanks.

if you mean the seam on the roof line there may be some kind of caulk thing in it

There should be a small amount of seam sealer on either side of the line. Be sure to strip it down to bare metal on both sides, at least 1 inch form the line in every direction. Much less chance of fire/mayhem/"OH F%^k!"
