Too bad you're so far away. I cut up a perfect rust free cab a couple months ago to get rid of it. I couldn't sell it on craigs with no title. I salvaged the tunnel to use on a custom raised tunnel on my 78.

I removed my rear window and there is a bunch of rust there it looks like I will need to go to the auto recyclers and get a section of cab around the glass for some repairs .

Since I found the rust on my 87 I am going to remove the interior light on my 85 a spray the crap out of the rear window seam with some fluid film to hopefully stop it from happening on that one .

Well I just got the front clip off of my 87 and I don't think the cab is salvageable there is quite a bit of rust on it .

I am pretty sure the 87 was a company truck as I see it had a backup alarm on it .

Welcome to the site Kent.
Just for future reference my friend, don't ever use Fluid Film for rust... if you ever ever intend to go back and fix it. You would need a gallon of acetone to break away the FF to give any paint a chance.
The BEST way is to hit the rust with converter/neutralizer, then primer.

Please don't confuse converter with encapsulator, big difference.

Here is a helpful site with lots of info.
