seam sealer

on my 69 stepside it looks as though someone had seam sealer from one end of the drip rail to the other. How is it supposed to be? What's the best way to get it on? Thanks

Re: seam sealer

Yes, it is supposed to have seam sealer all the way one it. I used a stripping wheel on a drill and a drywall hook knife to get it our of all the cracks and crevices. I panted mine with Eastwood rust encapsulator prior to putting in new seam sealer (also a pain, sort of)

I did the exact same thing to mine. A new wire wheel on a drill, a little hand sanding, rust encapsulator, then 3M outdoor flexible sealer, primer, paint

Like Bill said, it's not fun though
