maibe you need to iliminate the spoiler thingy in total cut it of the roof and replace it with a front part from another 65 truck turned around , that gets a smoot roof all the way to the back and you get a piece of driprail all around , you prolly need to put some metal under it to close the gap to the rearwindow

looked at the picture again are you in for some fabricating ? use a front windshield in the back too

That's the next thing I was going to try. Bring it all the way to the back, and blend it in. The other idea you have sounds good, but I have so much more I want to do to the truck. Besides I wouldn't change the basic look of the roof. I like that bump, and the way the roof over hang's.

I have to weld up the bottom of the rail to make it match the front part. Then a final skim coat.

I forgot to mention that I used part of the A pillar to form the new drip rail that I just made.

Too much monkey business for me to get involved in. I'm going out to shave my drip rails.
