Question Need to raise roof

Hello everyone, I'm wondering if any of you guys had any suggestions to help me with a problem I am having...
I purchased a 1971 FORD postal truck that was converted into an ice cream truck, in order to get the proper health permits I need to raise the roof up 10''. I am required to have 74'' from the floorboard to the roof. Any suggestions or ideas on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot-Coffey

Coffey, Welcome to FTE the nations truck stop for info on ol Ford trucks.

Click User CP upper left and edit gallery, upload some photos of the truck and then we might be able to offer some suggestions. Your truck would be an after market body as Ford didn't build any postal trucks to my knowledge.
A different truck or trailer could be a better choice to meet the codes.
