55 roof
I have been working on my trucks roof and have been putting off working this panel for a long time. I looked bad. but it has cleaned up pretty well. i think it grew an inch taller but worked out well. not as hard as I would have thought.

Welcome to FTE!
When we were around 13-14 one of my cousins walked on the roof and hood of mine. (before it was mine)
When I was 16 I installed a sun roof. Hey, it was the 70s, everyone was doing it. I later tore the sun roof off on a garage door.
I worked on the roof for a week strait and couldn't repair all the damage. The cab had other problems, such as the hole someone cut in the dash to install a radio. (again, before it was mine) I ended up splitting the cab and replacing the entire top with that of a donor cab.
I'm glad you were able to work yours out. Splitting the cab ended up being a pretty extreme move for someone with my meager body skills.
BTW, we on FTE love pictures. Lots and lots of pictures.

Hi Hill. Welcome to FTE!
If you mean my old dash, it is long gone. It had several holes too many so it was removed with the cab top.
I tack welded the old top onto the donor cab and sent it to the scrapper. The bottom of the donor cab was beyond repair.
Sorry.
