Default my roof gets wood....

With the damage on the rear of the roof panel repaired, I got motivated to do the wood structure next.

Since the front wood roof structure on these cab 11/12 was known to be very weak, I made a pair of brackets from 1/8" plate steel to strengthen this area, and bolted them in. Hard to see once installed, but a lot stronger than original I would think....

Also dug around and found enough of the outer trim pieces for the roof to make it complete. All pieces came from Dodge trucks of the same vintage. With a little butt welding and....

Feels good to finally make some progress again!

Thanks, David
