Roof for '75 E50
I have a '75 Ford E150 (300 CID inline six, manual trans) that I just love (had it since the '70's) for hauling the motorcycles, lumber, hay, you name it.
It (and I) spent a good deal of time in Michigan before coming to Los Angeles, and it has some rust that I would like to repair (runs great, but does not look great).
I could patch or replace most the rusted parts, and in the end, I think time/effort-wise, it will be easier just to bolt on the new parts (money will come easier than time).
The question I have is regarding the roof. It has serious surface rust on about 80% of it, and has rusted through in several spots. Now I have been up there and started working on it with the intention of fixing it, but due to the size of that particular project, I was curious if anyone here knew of where I could find a replacement roof (steel or otherwise) which I think would take a good week of work off from the project.
I would consider one of those plastic/figerglass roofs that you see in van conversions, but I live in LA and it would be be nice to be able to park it in a parking structure.
Any ideas how best to proceed?
Thanks in advance!
