Here is the truck with a new roof and the van body installed. The roof had a huge patch on it from all the walking over it, and as a result a lot of water found it's way through all the pop rivets. I had to replace both the inner and outer skins. I just managed to splash some paint on it before the real cold hit, so the cam pattern is reversed in relation to the two greens on the van body. I also managed to find the telephone panel that was missing on one of those little side doors.
The cargo box is now under refurb. The body putty was so thick, it would fall off in large pieces. Sixteen years of service put these commercial off the shelf trucks through a lot of abuse.
