73-87 Roof Tops
 

Greetings...just found this site. I like it. I'll be back a lot.

Anyone know if cab roof tops for 73-87 pickups are in existence anywhere? My local GM dealer says they can't get them anymore. LMC truck doesn't have them.

I'm trying to avoid cutting one off a doner cab. I'm redoing a '79 chevy 2wd lwb. Almost ready to paint until sanding the top revealed it looks like a golf ball and more work than I want to invest fixing.

Thanks!

as far as i know donor is the only way to go but ive been pointed out wrong before

I agree with Bob..... But I gotta wonder which would actually be easier, Spreading mud and sanding or cutting-aligning-welding then spreading mud and sanding ?


BTW, Welcome Aboard !!!

Thanks for the input guys.... My friend had one redone by a dealer this year after a building fell on it. They said they ordered the last one in the country and it shipped in twisted in a broken crate. Had to use a donor.

Here's the before:
