WTB NOS/ or good clean take off roof panel for my F series truck...must have provisions for the factory roof mounted clearance lights...i live on the right coast so i am hoping to find one within 300 miles of Hartford Ct.thanks

 

NPD sells them. You may have to re-drill the roof clearance lights though.

 

I was under the impression that no body made reproduction roofs. I cut the upper portion of the cab off a junkyard truck, separated all the spot welds, and spent way too long of a time working/cleaning up the "junkyard" roof panel. The whole exercise was worth "good practice" but in the end (based on time and money spent) i should have just bought an entire cab. A reproduction panel if its out there, depending on cost, may be worth it though. There is some satisfaction to coating the innards surrounding the rood that were never painted and fixing the seemingly always rusted drip rails.

There are some threads on here about using Econoline roofs. This is the route i would take now if i had to do it over again.

You probably didn't want my opinion, but i felt obliged to offer it......... Let me know if you source a reproduction roof.

 

I've looked and looked to no avail....Can you show us on what page of their catalog is it shown?

THANKS!!

 

X2, I've never seen the roof panels in NPD's catalog.....or any place else.

i want to thank all parties who have responded...a cab would be easier than a panel i'm sure...this truck has 70 k orig miles...was ziebarted ...has 0 rust in the floors,cab mounts,doors and cowl vents...i'd be hard pressed to find a nicer one structually...if i could find a nice roof , i don't think i would be a big deal to remove both windshield and rear window,seperate the factory seams and refit it...the orig roof has more holes than i can count do to safety light mounting..maybe i should weld them...or i can move to russia...thanks again...i'm still on the hunt....

 

My mistake, I thought that NPD had it. I remembered seeing the roof panel in the cab diagram, but that doesn't mean they sell it. My apologies everyone.
