As common with these trucks the panel above my windshield has rusted out and needs to be replaced. I have to put a new windshield in anyways so it is a good time to fix it. Can anyone recomend a good place to get one? I see LMC has them and maybe also Classis trucks, just wondering the quality of the parts? Also is there anything special I should do or look for when I replace the panel? Thanks......Mike
I have a '63 panel truck with extensive rust in that panel and the A-pillars. I bought an entire roof from Cali and hope to graft it in. I am at the point where it is cut open but very intimidating. I need to get the guts up tp finish it.
I got one from LMC, but sold the truck before I installed it. The quality was nice. You'll have to split the spot welds on the rain gutter. The piece I had went from corner seam to corner seam on the outside of the windshield.
The LMC versions are nice quality. If your rust doesnt go all the way into the seam, you can just trim the patch panel to fit the area you want to repair, you don't have to use the whole patch panel.
