Does 55-59 have lead seams?

On the piller post between windshield and front of door where the drip rail tappers off and ends is that a leaded seam? On my truck it's cracked straight across on both sides. I can take my finger and peal up what looks like sheet metal?

yes that's the roof to A pillar joint. You can melt it out and use All Metal in its place. Cracking and peeling are common.
