67-72 Roof Replacement (the hard way)

[Pablo85]

Hello guys, some years ago when I started my restoration I was looking for some help in swapping a 72 roof, fortunately I found a lot of information in this forum.

But there was something that was stopping me on doing the roof replacement, my cab was a 72 and I only found a 67 donor roof! Lol And all the post that I saw in this group had the same 10's year donor roof. So I was thinking how am I supposed to put a 67 roof to a 72 cab?? (And yeah it was a 67 small back window not a large one) all the roof swaps that I saw in the forum were done cutting at the A and B pillars (most of them by the middle of those pillars) So if someone has the same question or just if you want to do it a different way here's what I did in order to replace my old roof .



(I apologize for the grammatical mistakes)

Hey Pablo, I caught your drift just fine, but did you mean to show pictures?

Be careful doing the roof from a 67 or eight because the pillars are a little different than 69 through 72.

Yes, I would like to share some pictures of the process but I still don't have idea how to upload them to the forum :/

You mean the front pillars (A)? Because I actually noticed they had a slightly different shape that didn't matched with the 72 one

They forgot to paint them in 67

Hi Pablo85,
It would be great to see pictures of anything done the hard way... :-) To post pictures that you have on your computer, click the Go Advanced button if you see it.
