I am really starting to love this site. My question is. Can I buy a new roof panel to replace my existing roof? Or, will I be looking for another truck to salvage? And has anybody dealt with LMC Parts? They have an impressive catalog. But how are they on prices and is what they sell good quality? Any testimonials would be greatly appreciated.

 

nobody sells roof panels. How bad is your roof. can you patch it?

 

No roof panels reproduced that I know of. Best to find a good donor truck for that item.

LMC is less than desirable for most items. There are much better parts outlets for your needs like NPD, Dennis Carpenter, Carolina- Classics to name a few.

 

Carpenters is the best parts place...most suppliers get their stuff from them...if you need NOS...ask on here as a few have bits and pieces...

As for the roof...if the rain gutters are the issue, you will need to get from another donor cab...65 and 6 only as I recall as far as the pickups go...the earlier years didnt have the 2 reinforcement lines stamped in...

Not to mention the roof replacement book time is something like 16 hours by a skilled body tech. You can do a heck of a lot of roof patching for that amount of trouble.
