Couple questions on cab repair - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Pulled the front fender off yesterday to patch. I knew I had issues with the kick panel-vent area but it was worse than I thought. I am going to rebuild but I need to know is there supposed to be a drain hole in the lower area to allow any water to drain?

Next question- It looks like floor is seperating from side. It looks to me like there was only seam sealer of somethink like that in there. Im thinking some type of sealer, clamp it up and tack it closed. Sound good?

Last one- I have cab corner patchs but it seems like I'm missing more. The po had 1 gallon water jug patching the right side and 1/2 gallon patching the left side. Anyway, can anyone guide me how the floor attaches to the cab corner? I don't see any rements on the side sheet metal so I'm not sure how to close this up.

TIA

Joe

SHes rusty all right, can you back up a little more so I can see better pics and let you know.

Here's a few more pictures. Flash was off on the last round.

Battery just died on camera so I'll get more tomorrow but maybe these will help

Thanks again

Joe
