Ford Blitz Restoration/Rebuild

[Private_collector]

Does anyone have any practical experience in successfully seperating the two main panels of the roof assembly on a cab13?

I have three roof assemblies. One is quite good, and it will be kept intact for my vehicle. The other two are less usefull. One has a good upper panel, the other one is damaged and not economically repairable. My thoughts are to remove the roof panel from one, without trying to salvage rear lower part, and graft it to the other ones lower panel, which can be repaired.

If the spot welds are able to be seen, I can drill them out, but I don't think it will be that straight forward. Also, the L shaped stiffening plate at rear upper corner of side window opening could complicate things considerably.

Has this been done in the past, and if so, what is the procedure for the job?

Photos to follow tonight, I hope.
