What do i fill it with??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

69mychevy · 08-14-2002, 02:48 PM

the retard before me put a hole in the ceiling of my truck for an antenna instead of putting it where it should go so now im putting one in my cowl but what do i fill the hole in the roof with? my dad suggested a rubber plug with silicone around it which sounds like a good idea but i can't find a rubber plug, i've looked at 4 different stores

*Shane* · 08-14-2002, 02:56 PM

cut your self a patch and either weld it up, or take it to a body shop and let them do it......

NSANE68!!! · 08-14-2002, 02:59 PM

YEP YEP, what he said.

69mychevy · 08-14-2002, 03:22 PM

what do u mean a patch? of metal?

busterwivell · 08-14-2002, 03:27 PM

Sure! measure the diameter of the hole, cut out a patch the same size, check to make sure it fits, use a magnet to hold it while you tack weld it in place, then finish the job slowly to avoid warpage, grind smooth, sand, primer.........

69mychevy · 08-14-2002, 03:38 PM

thanx for your help but i don't know how im gonna ever do that

busterwivell · 08-14-2002, 03:54 PM

WHY NOT?

*Shane* · 08-14-2002, 04:11 PM

thats what I am wondering Buster.....????

Southpa · 08-14-2002, 04:14 PM

Then you'll have to commit bondo-cide on your roof.

69mychevy · 08-14-2002, 04:27 PM

If that truck in your AVATAR is yours and this is the truck were talking about, DON"T YOU DARE F*** IT UP WITH A RUBBER PLUG!
That's a beautiful truck it deserves better then that.. DO IT RIGHT ! have someone weld it.

RON

THOR 50 · 08-14-2002, 06:14 PM

Rubber plug would be a VERY temporary fix. At least you'll keep the rain out. A good body man wil fix it and you'll never see it. Worth the $$ the avoid the rust later.
Is the hole through inside sheet metal as well?

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 08-14-2002, 09:20 PM

Bring it over to my shop and I'll weld it,primer it and paint it for free if you bring the girls with you, it might take a couple of weeks to cut the patch and weld it in then grind it down then primer then sand then primer then paint then buff. But the girls are welcome to stay and help me while you go to Daytona to check it for more girls. Just trying to help

tonyj · 08-14-2002, 09:33 PM

I agree with mother, can you put a bigger pic of the truck on???
lol

**Bowtie468** · 08-14-2002, 09:50 PM

hey mothertruckers, let me know is you need help with the roof, i'll take the first plane out!!

**Bowtie468** · 08-14-2002, 09:56 PM

69mychevy, no seriously, with a sweet little gal uh uh i mean truck , like that, i wouldnt consider anything but a first class repair. Even if you have to pay someone to do it!

All the good suggestions are already taken so I can only suggest you plug it with your thumb

colohusker · 08-14-2002, 10:47 PM

Depending on how soon you want it done, I could bring the welder down there... but... haven't practiced any yet, and I'd hate to weld on that truck this week since I haven't welded anything for 15 years... unless you like being a guinea pig?

LMFAO
good one

Longhorn Man · 08-15-2002, 12:43 AM

Too bad he don't know the chick in the picture.. Guess he won't be bringing her along huh?
Herte's an idea...who cares if it isn't right, try leaving it alone undill you can afford to get it done right. It's better than a siliconed butt blug in your roof.

68 Suburban · 08-15-2002, 04:24 AM

Since you don't have the time to do it right, why not just put the antenna back....hehe.

*big71* · 08-15-2002, 07:44 AM

i just want to see the pic with the girl and it be clear enought to see

**GMCPaul** · 08-15-2002, 07:53 AM

Try a strong magnet until the time comes that you do have the time to get her fixed right, silicone gases and will later lead to greater damage caused from it out gassing and forming rust under and around it. Ed come on now your married leave that BODY work you want to do to the single guys on the board.
