1966 C10 Cowl Repair
Need some advise on this. I removed the complete inner cowl panels on both sides to expose the underside. This is where all the debris would have built up. Some one in the past went under the dash for the repairs. Trying to permanantly and correctly fix this. Obviously there are no repair panels for this. The entire cab has also been media blasted. I was considering cutting out the rotted metal since there is now good metal from underneath. Would it be practical to use Metal 2 Metal fill or maybe Tiger hair? I want to permanantly waterproof and seal this area for good. Or do i need to add new metal? Then seal?
Also i have to replace the water divertors on both sides. Any experience on this. Thanks! |

Re: 1966 C10 Cowl Repair
Kinda hard to tell what the damage on your truck needs from the pics. I would think that you could just make some patch pieces though.

Re: 1966 C10 Cowl Repair
Using the metal 2 metal or tiger hair will not be a long term/permanent fix. Replacing the area with steel and then sealing/coating it will be the best that can be done.

Re: 1966 C10 Cowl Repair
I prefer to use an epoxy primer over properly prepped steel. Then that should be top coated with some sort of paint to seal it. You could also top coat it with a bedliner type of material or a insulating/sound deadening material such as Lizard Skin. You could also use something like POR15 over the bare steel.
