After removing the lip, I completed wire wheeling the inner roof and then treated with Rust Reformer, and then painted it to seal it, hoping it will last another 60 years with that!

I covered the inner panel with KillMat for sound deadening and insulating... hoping to make the truck even more comfortable to drive.

I looked all around for the roof panel... several manufacturers have it... most between $400 and $500... but the SHIPPING is ridiculous!!! Anywhere from $175-$500!

In the end, I called some of the closer dealers for AMD and OER and found one in Connecticut 100 miles away from me that does enough volume they were willing to order me the roof panel from AMD when they had a large order to place, and not charge me any shipping if I came to pick it up. So... I had to pay CT sales tax (not used to that in NH)... and in the end it cost me $440 and a 4 hour roundtrip. The vendor was Body Shop Price in Meriden CT... and they were FANTASTIC to deal with! They even pulled the panel out of the box when it arrived to check condition BEFORE calling me to make the trip to pick it up, and then helped me load it in my SUV when I got there. Very happy!
