Re: will it last another 5-10 years?

I bought a truck out of El Cajon and it had sun baked seam sealer there.It ended up with a rotted header panel inside.Why wouldn`t you just fix it?The sun belt trucks don`t rust like rust belt trucks and have lasted way better.But,your time is coming.Rustbelt trucks rust from the bottom up and yours will rust from the top down,just slower.I`d grind that out,get to clean metal,seal,prime,and paint with white paint.My truck from Modesto had totally cracked sealer,too.I fixed it before it made a bigger problem.We expect rust here and baby or trucks to make them last.You guys take it for granted because you`re unfamiliar with it.You may have a 50/50 chance of it not becoming a problem.But,I`d act on making it last forever.Why take a chance on letting another get too far gone?
