Not hard to do. Just lots of drilling out of spot welds. I had the wrecking yard cut the roof of through the posts. I cleaned out the old seem sealer with a small chissle than wire brushed the gutter. Made it easy to see the spot welds. Drilled out all the welds in the roof from the yard and the roof skin pulled right off. On my truck I cleaned out the gutter and just cut through the roof at the gutter. Top skin peeled right off. Leaving the spot welded flange in the gutter. Cleaned it up with a wire wheel on my drill, set the new skin on and welded it through the holes left from drilling the spot welds. Little seam sealer and it was good to go.
