Is there a patch panel for the Inside roof on a '62?

Hey all just wondering if there is a patch panel available for the inside roof panel along the windshield? I have found the ones for the outside but none for the inside.

I see u need the outer also ,which they do repop ,but no on the inner roof section you will have to hunt down a donor like I did or fab it yourself. goodluck!

Funny how they only make the outer. (Usually) when the outer's gone, so is the inner.
I managed a donor with totally toasted floors.

Removed outer panel and now have inside one to deal with. I am thinking about patching the inside roof panel with some fibreglass as i can access it now. Then attaching the outside panel and then filling inside the cab with long strand filler.

Or welding a piece on the inside of the roof panel and filling after...I am concerned about warping the inside roof panel and think fibreglass will work just as good.

Are the inner roof panels the same as 64-66?

I don't think so as the windshield is different.


I think fiberglass is the way to go.
