Popular Post Bigdogtrucker Posted September 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2014 Having roof rust,i was terrified to pull the headliner and see the inside upper area of my cab after seeing what can be hiding there...Roof panel has some rot as I expected,but the whole upper structure of the cab is great.Thank god!Going to patch her up for now,and keep my N.O.S panel tucked away. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdogtrucker Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Well,may as well do the inside floor over at the same time.Pulling the seats and floor covering out...Hope to Chassis Saver it,then top with an undercoat or roll on liner.Are these roof panels galvanized,also any idea what they're worth? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bigdogtrucker Posted October 1, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2014 Pulled the seats and floor covering yesterday.The big removable section is rusty,the rest of the floors are great.Seems they were undercoated top and bottom when new.Gonna strip them all down,Chassis Saver and re coat them .Have a local restoration shop coming over this afternoon to look at the roof. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdogtrucker Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Resto guy just showed up.Saw my NEW roof panel and said it's a no brainer to install that since I already have the piece...Nice reputable guy,does GREAT work(and i'm VERY picky).Gave me a quote of 6-700- to remove mine,intall the new one and put it in primer.At that point i'd prob. just have the roof painted.Anybody else ever have one done,just curious what it cost you???

Bigdogtrucker Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 I'm definitely going to have this local guy install the roof panel sometime,but I may do a "quickie" on it for now.Got insurance the other day,just need to go get my tag now.
