Short answer yes it has been done
Hi Tony
The shore answer is yes it has been done, but now I've got to remember how I did it or find the photos.
But to be sure we're talking about the same thing, you are asking about removing the rear skin of the standard Pat 13 cab assembly correct? Purpose to make up one good roof from two or three donors?
On my Pat 13 C60S 1942 the rear of the cab had rusted out all the way around where it was backed by the lower angle iron that forms the bolting surface. So I removed it and replaced it with new sheet metal. As I remember it I did it as you suggest by drilling out all the spot welds, then using air chisel with the longest flattest blade slide between the layers.
But as I said I may have photos. I'll look.
Cheers Phil
