Well a buddy of mine has his 64 panel truck with the roof rusted out about 2 inches from back of the door frame to the back of the door frame. Just a big opening all along the top of the windshied. The PO had tried to patch it up, used maybe 5 gallons of bondo, but it didn't help.

Well my question is how stuipid is it to transplant a roof from a doner 65 swb chevy over to this panel truck?? Seems like alot of work. I know it'll be tricky.

Any tips, tricks?? Should we just cut the Pillars off and reweld them in from there??
