Cab Rust Areas
Hello all - posted a few pictures of my cab where rust is located on my 1971 Chevy C20 that I purchased from San Diego 6 years ago. Who said SoCal trucks are rust free? LOL!
I have a cracked windshield so I hesitate to replace it because of the rust areas in the attached photos. I don't know if the rot is in the windshield seal area and if the windshield perimeter is weakened from the inside rust shown. Looking for comments from individuals who repaired similar rust area on the cab. Thank you! |

Re: Cab Rust Areas
Wish I could help you with the rust but I can't. However, as a native NTer I just have to say hello. Give them my best regards at Galassi's and Platters.

Re: Cab Rust Areas
Sorry to see that- looks pretty bad. I would guess the windshield flange is really weak

Re: Cab Rust Areas
I would think either a roof replacement, or cab replacement depending on the rest of the truck. I think you will be opening a can of worms if you remove the windshield.

Re: Cab Rust Areas
If yours is like mine the seal area is fine. The only way to know for sure is to pull the windshield out and while it is out repair the rotted areas. You might wire brush the inside areas and see just how far the rot goes before pulling the windshield.
