Default Re: Interior cab rust

That is a tough place to repair rust in a cab. If you see pictures, the inside of that roof had no rust protection from the factory. Just bare steel. When the seam sealant in the rain gutters fails, water soaks its way through the seam in the rain gutters and causes extensive damage. Best solution is if you can find another cab. Some folks have taken off the outer roof panel so they can get in there to repair and treat the inner panel, but that is a difficult job with a lot of spot welds around the rain gutter to be drilled out. With the new urethane panel adhesives, putting the roof back on isn't too difficult. A few pictures might help to understand what you are up against. I would poke around quite a bit with an ice pick to see how much metal is left.

Hope this is helpful.
