Re: Roof lip patch panel
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.

Re: Roof lip patch panel
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.

Re: Roof lip patch panel
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.

Re: Roof lip patch panel
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...

Re: Roof lip patch panel
Thanx LostMy; I'd seen the pics but not the install of the part. I wasnt sure if it was in on the full truck shot at the bottom. I'm mostly curious to learn if the part is relavent to 60-66, not just 60-63 as Classic Ind has it listed.

Re: Roof lip patch panel
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.
