Rain gutter caulk
 
Did a 59 chev or gmc 1/2 ton or so have caulk in the roof rain gutter. My 59 Fleet appears to have none anywhere in the rain gutter. I am surprised at how good of shape it is with exposed lap/spot welds in the gutter.

I know my 58 and my sons 59 did have caulk in the rain gutter's,
but after the years there was cracks and areas that did not have it and i thought the same,
how did it not rust allot more in those area's ?

Ok, I can only figure that someone must have started a restoral or refinish, did an excellent job of removing the factory caulk then stopped and stored the truck in a building.

There is little paint on the roof with some red primer/surface rust. This truck set for years before I bought it at an estate auction.

I guess my luck.

It will get new caulk. I like the 3M waterbase automotive caulk which I used on my 67.
