Front roof differences Sub and truck
ok, My suburban's worst spot if around the top of the windshield and doors, and I was wondering what the differences were between the two in these areas? I know the suburban roof goes up higher, but what about the area near the gutters?
Basically, if I were to fix it, i would want to cut a horse shoe out of the truck roof, and replace mine with it, since the center section of my roof is good. Would this work?

Re: Front roof differences Sub and truck
You can use a pickup inner structure but will need to fab the outer roof.

Re: Front roof differences Sub and truck
No need for getting a new roof piece. I was there taking a couple parts off, and decided it's too rusty to keep.
I went to remove the screw holding the mirror on, turned it a quarter of a turn, the mirror turned with it and then just completely fell off. this is what I was left with:

Re: Front roof differences Sub and truck
yeah, oh well. Made the decision on what to do with it that much easier.
Now to grab a couple cans of PB Blaster and get to work.

Rod, Did you live off of Tramway when you were in ALBQ? Beautiful View of the Sandia Mtn. Loved living there but had to get back to the green of home.
