Has anyone fixed cab rust at the sunvisor

][/B] location? How hard is the panel to do? I found an all original 69 but the top roof discourages me. It's fine on the outside. Just on the passernger inside.

No experience with the panel. I saw it in the new lmc catalog. I'm needing this in one of mine also.

Re: Has anyone fixed cab rust at the sunvisor

VTBLAZER: How did you fix that, weld the patch panel in? I asked this question before, search back a month or two, someone posted a link to some pics where the guy replaced the entire inner and outer roof, another suggestion was to put a whole new roof piece in, like you were chopping the roof, only at stock height. I still havn't decided how I'm going to repair mine.

Correct.
Cut the repair piece from a donor truck, some grinding, some welding.
