Replace roof on a 66 c10 with a 65 c10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The rain gutters on the roof my 66 chevy c10 are rusted. I am looking to buy a 65 roof to put on my 66. I think they are the same but can someone confirm this for me before I spend the $$$ and drive 200 miles to get the 65 roof? Also where should the cuts be made ? At the bottom of the front window posts and under the back window or at the top of the front window posts and above the back window? My posts do not have rust, they are fine. If you have done this and have any tips I will greatly appreciate hearing about them. Just curious, I have not come across any company the sells a rerpro roof, does anyone know of a Company that sells them?
Thanks for your advice...

Yes they are the same....'64-'66 are the same. Do they both have the same size back window? If so, then I would cut them about in the middle of the window opening. If the '65 has a big back window, and you want to upgrade your '66 to the big back window, you need to cut below the inner panel below the window. Also you will want to take some good measurements of the height of the window openings, prior to cutting the roof off of your '66.

Thanks, I was thinking all roofs from 1960 to 1966 were the same. Does anyone know what I should pay for a roof?
Thanks for your answer,
