Cab trim?

[Joe Dirte]

The trim pieces along edge of roof. One fell off n others barely held on. Do we need these? I didn't see a hole under the one that fell out.

You dont need them. I have heard of someone filling in theris and sanding it smooth. Its just covers the seam where the cab meets the A pillers. Its just a trim piece.

You don't need it, it's more or less estetic piece. And I beleve that it's one of those parts that impossible to get hold of

One of mine is missing as well. Going to ask someone who knows wth they're doing what the best way to fill it is. But it's WAAY down on the punch list, lol.

AFAIK, it's a trim piece that fills in the cab seams. Burbs have something similar, just longer. In the olden days, car manufacturers would use lead filler to cover and smooth over major body seams.

Speaking of Lead, HotWheels they put that in our gasoline back in the day, when I had hotwheels. (good for engines of that circa). And I got Lead for that porcupine that messed up my doggy and wife the other day. Vet says to keep a watch all night, on the hound. Not my wife, pulled her quills out already. Good Times

You're exactly right! That technique/process is still around in the restoration and street rodder world. It's exactly what my buddy said he would do if it was his.

Good times indeed... poor wife and dog.

Think we got the last quill out. My dog (not my wife). Good thing, gave him his last pain pill from the vet at 0130HRs. Just trying to cheer people up in these difficult times with my Canadian banter. No more broken French, do not want Dudley Do-right and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police after me, for breaking our stupid language laws. Rocky and Bullwinkle show, Hey, and I think I played with my HotWheels in front of the tv back then.

Surely the vet doesn’t treat your wife too? I mean, I’ve been there, done that, but I didn’t think it was common.

I had mine filled when the rest of the body work was being done. They welded a steel strip in first so the filler is not as thick as the seam is deep.
