Inner Roof Panel Replacement

Finally got around to replacing my rusted inner roof panel on my 1970 C10, a buddy gave me a donor roof section, I decided to replace the entire panel from the front to the back seam joint since it was rusty even above the doors. I drilled the spot welds from the donor panel, and the welds at the back joint came apart easily with a chisel, much easier than the joint in the truck.











The donor had a small amount of bondo and holes in the front, so I repaired it with fiberglass cloth and Chassis Black pant, real sticky, hard stuff.





I used a chisel ground old screwdriver to seperate the spot welds of the rear joint in the truck, make sure to only pry against the old top panel at the surface, it took some work hammering from each side for each spot weld.
