Rain gutters

[1966ponyguy]

I'm still a newbie with the Chevy trucks, mostly worked on early mustangs. I know on the early mustangs, removing the rain gutters above the doors are a major undertaking as these are where body seems are connected. Requires a fair amount of work. My step son is wanting to remove the gutters from his new 68 lwb. From what I can tell with a quick look, it almost looks like the gutters on the chevy are an additional piece of sheet metal spot welded to the door opening. Anyone ever done this?
