Panels, at least 3100s, too?
I am needing a roof for a repair and was presuming anything from a
55.5 to 59 would be the same.

Panel roofs should all be the same 55-59. if you are replacing it....you might be surprised how easy it is to get off. They bolt to the top of the quarters and are welded at the rear door ooening and at the front door openings.

That gives me more confidence.
Yes, we'll be doing the complete roof.
Thanks, buggy!
