Hey guys, I'm looking for some help. I almost have my cab done and I've been taking pictures as I go. I sand blasted the entire cab with a aluminum base blast. My question is, seam seal the entire cab or do I paint it with epoxy and then seam seal? I'm thinking I should paint it first and then go around an seam seal the crack in the cab?

Also, I just tested out eastwoods self level seam sealer and I don't like it. There is literally no shape to it. I'm going to try out an epoxy seam sealer that I have high hopes for. The price is a bit expensive but in the end I think it will be worth it.

On another note, has anyone flipped a cab over? I'm going to pull my truck out of my little garage and then flip the cab over on some wood. How heavy is the cab and can two guys do it.. maybe a wife. I would like to secure the bottom of that and rebuild it. Then go after it with a underbody spray once I remove all the rust.

 

I just paint the seam sealer, its supposed to be paint-able anyway

 

You can do the seam sealer either way. I did mine to bare metal and it worked fine. I use the self leveler 2 part in the drip rail but everywhere else I just use the normal sealer that you get at any autobody store. I don't buy the 2 part stuff for all the little stuff.

On flipping the cab over I would just lay it over on the back of the cab on a couple 2x4s I have had good luck with it and an empty cab is not too heavy to roll on its back me and the wife did mine pretty easy

Smart man, I didn't even think of that... that would work rather well. I might have to shift my bed back a bit but it should work.
