Re: 72 GMC Sierra Grande
That's a bummer....I think I'd shop for a new roof...what's the rest of the cab like?

Re: 72 GMC Sierra Grande
If it were me I'd opt for a different roof. That's a lot of patching, and there's going to be hidden rust on the inside of those panels.

Re: 72 GMC Sierra Grande
I'd swap just for the cab lights!
I appear to have the same truck, more or less, in a 1970. Same color, but mine's a Sierra Grande longhorn.

Re: 72 GMC Sierra Grande
If it was me, I would replace the roof on that cab at a convenient place on the A and B pillars. There are a bunch of joints in the upper area of the windshield corners and drop rails that are likely bad too.
