Our 1988 F250 has a rusted roof the truck sat for three years and the cablights rusted the roof out. It looks to be a discontinued panel. Does anyone have a suggestion or source for 87-91 cab roof panels?

On the other hand I can get cabs for the truck but what kind of VIN number problems do you run into? I know it is illegal to cut vin #'s. Any how to info on cab swapping?

 

Well you can swap the cab, i would call ur local liscnece office and talk to them about the VIN number issue, might have to provide proof of sale on the used cab.

You can cut the roof off as a whole,






If you decide to keep the cab... check the floors, cab corners, and basically the lower part of the cab where the water running in...has gone.

Why do people change cab roofs in the way pictured above????????? Next time try drilling the factory spot welds along the cab back panel where it meets the floor. Then inside along the rocker panel, where the inner cab corner meets the rocker. Then you have only one major splice at the windshield, "A" pillar, to deal with.
This how the factory made the truck. Its about twice as fast as doing it in the way pictured. NO problems fitting the rear glass. NO problems fitting doors. Will still have some strength for roll over protection.

 

It'd probably be better to just replace the roof. It'd be a headache with the V.I.N. numbers and all. Not to mention all that re-wiring and measuring and making sure it all fits.

 

Because most of the time the donnor truck has rusted cab corners and nothing left at the rocker panels at the seam your talking about.Plus it is easier to line everyting up in the way 4star shows .
I prefer his way also its a lighter piece of metal to work with.
