Drip Rail Pic's

Any of you guy help me with a few pics of your drip rail. I would like to see how smooth the channel is or how jacked up in my case. LOL Thanks

Re: Drip Rail Pic's

I don't have pics of it right now, but after a wire wheel fiesta and one tube of 3m 8307 automix - mine is dead flat. Before this I had tried to use Drip-Chek and it was a nightmare - self level epoxy, 2part for a fast cure, is the only way to go!!

Re: Drip Rail Pic's

what exactly did you want to see?an all original sealing job,the trough area under the sealer,or the face of the rail itself?The outer rail should be smooth.The sealer in the trough is originally below the top edge of the rail and is well smoothed out.When I did my`72 I brought the sealer up to the top of the lip,yet still a trough to catch water and channel it out.But,very little water can lay when truck sits with front downhill.

I was looking to see what the trough looked like.
Thanks

Re: Drip Rail Pic's

With the sealer in,right?I ask because I have a cab with the sealer all stripped out if you want to see one like that.
