Re: 55 Chevy Upper cab A pillar alignment problem

Dicer,
It is where the pinch welds come together at the seams, the patch panel was rusted but not as bad as the my cab, I treated the back with Ospho and some rust treatment,
that panel was surface rust on the back side I wire brushed it off. just on the front lip edge is where it got worse. I figured that it was a good piece, so I welded it in, I figured I can fix the lower edge with all-metal, also the factory donor piece has at the bottom edge, some brazing weld it was a ruff puddle of goo, it wasn't clean. I can see where the factory has been unable to make pieces fit correctly.It's good to know that its not just me.

Thanks
-Larry
