Help with upper windsheild rust repair PLZ!
I have some rust in the upper windshield area of my 63', and I've been looking for patch panels to help with the repair. I've found this: http://www.topbananaparts.com/roof-t...eld-panel.html
but I can't tell if it's for the inside of the cab or the outside. I specifically need the inside. can anyone that's used this panel, or repaired this area give me some insight please? thanks in advance |

Re: Help with upper windsheild rust repair PLZ!
It's an outside piece. My pickup had rusted out in both the outside and inside. I used that outer patch for both sides. On the outside, it was just cut out and patch. On the inside I had to take the panel and cut the folds off of it so that I had one long flat bendy piece of metal. Then I could contour it to the shape of the ceiling. You just want to make sure it replaces all of the rusted area. I might be able to find a picture of what it looked like.

I don't have any pictures of the patch piece in. But here is the cutout I made for it. Make sure when you cut it out that you don't go through the outside layer too.

The front section of the headliner is now available from a company. Their name escapes me but shouldn't be hard to find with a search.

Re: Help with upper windsheild rust repair PLZ!
Sorry for the misinformation. I guess my memory failed me. They were for the 64-66. Maybe that piece could still help you? I imagine it's really close with the exception of around the pillars. It's either that or find a donor piece from another cab. Good luck either way. I'm actually about to undertake the same task too. I was lucky to get a rust free donor though.
