Aww man, its unfortunate you are on the wrong side of the country. I have a cab that I'm getting ready to send to scrap. Roof is in perfect condition. South of the cowl is a different story, lol.

Re: roof skin for 72
That is not a good place to have rust. There are several parts that all come together there. Here is a cab breakdown picture. Typically the rust is very heavy at the joints of the windsheld header frame and extend up into the visor. Have you pulled the windshield to see if there is really anything left there? Posting a picture might help you get specific repair advise.

GMC pauls and many other suppliers cary that patch. Only problem is it has that goofy '71 mirror mount.

The header panel is made by Tri-Plus and available through anyone dealing with their parts...which is about anyone.
