I keep learning a lot from this group and would like to continue this trend.  
We will be starting the body work soon and have noticed that the cab (54 5 
window) is actually in two pieces.  The connection is right below the body 
contour that goes around the back of the cab below the rear window.  How have 
you folks cleaned / treated this area?  The cab is rusted out in all the 
normal places, cab corners and lower cowl area.  I don't want to do a frame 
up rebuild only to have rust come through the paint in a few years.  There is 
a local (Allentown, PA) guy that will dip the cab for $530.  Sounds expensive 
but may be worth it if it prevents rust down the pike.  

Thanks for all of your advice and experiences,

Rick
