Re: Roof Pillars and Roof skin Reapir
Most repairs i have read on this forum call for cutting the A pillars about 3" down and a choosing a place on the back window area to cut it and replacing the whole roof section. One guy cut the rear of the cab just a couple inches above the floor and did some fancy cutting in the door jamb area to retain his stock vin plate
I have also seen where the owner pulls the window out (you will probably find more rust in the lower corners) hand fabricates a patch sections and welds them in place and welds all the overlapping seams shut, i would also suggest treating the rust with an encapsulator of some kind to stop the rust.
I did see one on the build section recently where they did just the pillar section and grafted the section to the inner liner, window frame and maybe re-skin the whole roof?
