replacing 55 drip rail

Dave,

I think the drip rail is actually a lip on the roof piece. I don't think you can buy it.. your only option would be to try and form a filler piece and weld it in... or remove the rest...(not an easy option. ) this is where the roof mounts to the cab...

good luck

john

Dave,
Your drip rail is part of your roof,I just repaired mine on my 56 f100. If you have a MIG welder it is easy to repair, just takes some time to cut & grind back into shape.I've done body work for 20years. If you havn't done it yet and need help drop me a line, I can give you some tips.
good luck,
