This has been asked before so you might try "search"
but the advice that I have heard was to cut a small amount off then weld it up then cut some more taking it slow. There are three pieces that come together at this seam.

you shouldn't be cutting sections out that are more than 6inches long!!!!!
with a cutoff wheel cut out a 3-6 inch section then weld it up go to the other side of the cab and do the same section , repeat this sequence about 50times then grind the welds and putty it smooth and yer ready fer paint
