If you have any other rust in the cab I would seriously consider looking for another cab. Anything can be fixed but that looks really bad.

There is a cab here for $275. I would go that route.

+1 on new cab.

I see rollers all the time on Cl around here in the $250-$500 range... it doesn't look like that trucks in a hurry.. so if you wait for a good deal you may end up with something nice.

I agree....unless your really attached to the cab, the rust issues are probably much farther down the pillars than you want. Id get a new cab.

Wow that's Purdy bad, I'd say that sunroof had something to do with that..

ChrisDollins · 12-31-2013, 05:45 PM

Hard to tell. But is that "great stuff" or foam in there?

Ya roadster is not really what im going for not alot of these trucks up here that are good none in the wreckers I can find is it a bad job to take the top roof pan off (drill out a milloin spot welds) kind of thing

Roll'nSlo · 05-21-2014, 04:22 PM

I have a good outer roof. But I have to agree with looking for a new cab.

bmwhitt · 07-21-2014, 07:24 PM

Have you replaced this roof yet? I have a similar problem and am looking to replace the top only... Wanted to see some pictures if you had done this yet.

dougf · 07-21-2014, 09:23 PM

God be with you on that cab! I would get a new cab, strip, prime, paint, and swap it out.
