Not uncommon. You may have some about to pop through over the windshield too.

Re: is this a common problem?
I have it. It can't be that uncommon. Some companies make a patch panel for the inside of the cab just above the winshield and it wraps around the side a little bit IIRC.

Re: is this a common problem?
Cab roof or upper side of the windshield too common. Check also under all the seal lip. Plus under the sealant in the gutter near the drip rail another common spot.

Re: is this a common problem?
how are the cab supports and floor boards. i'll bet if the cab is that rusty the floor boards are shot as well, unless someone has already repaired them.i would replace the cab if it was rusted everywhere..imo

Re: is this a common problem?
yep, try to score a better cab if you can-- all those patch panels would turn into a ton of work

Re: is this a common problem?
It is a common issue on the east coast. I would look for a better cab, unless the rest of it is very solid.
