Hello, let me start by saying how much I like the way your project is heading, I have had a 62 C10 for over 20 years and just started on the metal repair, so what did you end up doing for the roof repair? I have rot on the corners and I am afraid of how severe the rust is inside...yeah its a Ca truck...rust happens here too, my grandfather ordered this from GM in 62...I have an entire roof from a 64 with no rust was thinking of removing the skin, just curious what your solution was, Thanks in advance for any info you can give me

After sand blasting, I saw how much bondo was on it...lol I cut out the cancer and didn't look too hard inside the top..lol.. pieced in metal rather than skin it. Actually was going to replace the top completely, but decided against it. It was a lot easier than anything else. I then got rid of the drip rim completely (cut and grinded it off).

I thought I posted some pics, let me see what I got.
