Question Roof replacement question

I am ready to buy a 1964 N chassis truck that was used by a sign company and had a bucket body on the back. It was kept inside, so it has nearly zero rust, but due to accessing the bucket over the years, the roof looks like the Atlantic Ocean. Will a roof off the F100/250 pickups fit as a replacement?

Top won't fit. Take your time and work the dents out using an oxy-acetlyine torch to heat and shrink the metal.

What about it won't fit? Michelle says it does fit. The design went to the raised roof in 1965 (like in the above picture), the 64 that I'm looking at has the flat roof which is supposedly just like the pickup. ?? I guess I'll need to take a grunch of measurements to be sure, but I always thought these trucks used same doors, same dash, same etc. as the pickup cabs.
