Re: to seal or not to seal.. cab opinions
Kind of depends on what the theme is you have going. I left the holes in my cab, but I am doing the "old Hot Rod shop truck" build.
I wouldn't use seam sealer, might pop loose on down the road since there will not be much area for it to adhere to. |

Re: to seal or not to seal.. cab opinions
Unless you're a master at sheet metal welding and finishing, I think it would be very difficult to grind all the welding smooth without warping or gouging something. You could always used JB Weld, but for something that isn't very noticeable I wouldn't bother unless it's a show truck with a painted interior.
Here's the JB Weld thread should you have any interest: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=369713 |

Two part epoxy and sanded down smooth could hold and not be seen.
