][/B] location? How hard is the panel to do? I found an all original 69 but the top roof discourages me. It's fine on the outside. Just on the passernger inside.

there is an entire patch panel being made for that area of the cab, it wil reach all the way across the cab

Does any have experience/pictures with installing that whole patch panel?

davidh · 11-07-2005, 12:02 PM

very good. This rust is a little further back than that ones but still the same thing.

No experience with the panel. I saw it in the new lmc catalog. I'm needing this in one of mine also.

VTBLAZER: How did you fix that, weld the patch panel in? I asked this question before, search back a month or two, someone posted a link to some pics where the guy replaced the entire inner and outer roof, another suggestion was to put a whole new roof piece in, like you were chopping the roof, only at stock height. I still havn't decided how I'm going to repair mine.

Correct.
Cut the repair piece from a donor truck, some grinding, some welding.
