Keep in mind that some trucks did exactly the same thing with factory seam sealer and paint, many under 10 years from when they were mfg'd. I just finished reworking a drip rail on my 72, which had been cracked, lifted, and leaking horribly (rusted out the inner roof). Very common problem, but for some reason some were worse than others.
