factory seam sealer

[m_m70]

While cleaning up the cowl there seems to be a ton of seam sealer or something on the top near the front lip, around the sides and the corners under the windshield frame..……..pulled a huge glob off the drivers side corner (see pic 1) and found what's in pic 2...….not happy but 48 years will take it's toll!

Question is did the factory go nuts with this stuff? Paint is original on top of this stuff. I've had the truck 29 years and know the guy I bought it from had it for 10 and neither one of us touched the body so maybe a '70s solution?

Guess it's time to pick up a welder and learn how to use it! %)

It is factory, mine was the same. a propane heating torch is your friend when tying to remove it.

back in the 60's and 70's they were about as good at seam sealing as they were at welding!
