Thats what I figured too; just never seen it discussed on here. Also wondered if I could cut the ends off and use them to fix my 'burb.

Nothing like buying a new panel to chop it up lol.

I drilled the spot wells and peeled my old one off. Bought the new panel and it fits good it's just a little short on each end ( about 1/2 inch).I'm not welding it on till the body comes of and is on my dolly.I'll take pics of course.

I looked at your thread last nite, Nobby. You've done a lot of work and it looks good.

Is your truck a 64-66??? I dont remember.

I had 2 ends for sale on the parts board for a while... no- one ever asked for 'em. they were a 65 truck, that I had cut 1 inch out of the center of the roof for my chopped truck....I am 95% sure that I still have them...

Cool!! I rarely look at the parts section 'cuz it seems I never find anything I need

. PM me about the details; I'm considering making the pieces but this would save time. Thanx jonz!!!

I think the posts come up in a different spot on 60-63. I decided to butt weld the gap cause i'm a glutton for punishment.
