19 67 f100 cab roof rust fix
Just thought I would share how I fixed a spare cab that had a rusted roof. I was just tinkering with how to do this.

Re: 19 67 f100 cab roof rust fix
I cut out all rusted and body puddy areas, fixed rusted brace in cab, then welded small plates from left over project scraps from roof to drip rail.Ground welds smooth, then applied body filler to level out and sprayed primer.
I have not used this cab its still sitting in the field. I makes it look like a 73-79 cab. just thought I would share.

Nice to see someone tackling the dreaded drip rail cancer - very innovative way to go about it too. Looks sweet ![Thumbs up :thup:](./images/smilies/icon_thumright.gif)

Re: 19 67 f100 cab roof rust fix
Thanks, was looking at different ways to fix this roof. I did not want to take the roof off 2 fix it. The P.O. put LOTS of fiberglass and bondo in it. When you cut this out like that, the roof skin is not supported well. make sure you have it straight when welding plate on! ![Thumbs up :thup:](./images/smilies/icon_thumright.gif)

Re: 19 67 f100 cab roof rust fix
I am starting my restore of my dad's ol 1964 f100. Looks like i may be employing some of the technique that you used for your roof rust cut out and weld in replacement. Yours looks great, but not sure if i want to cut my drip rails yet. If they are rusted through as well, then its an easier decision to shave them off.
Here is what my guy looks like.

Re: 19 67 f100 cab roof rust fix
On mine the previous owner filled in the rusted area with Bondo. My drip rail and gutter was ok, just the roof and some of the brace was rusted. The roof on my 63 F 250 is starting to rust along the sides above the door and in the center up frontrdsully wrote:I am starting my restore of my dad's ol 1964 f100.

Re: 19 67 f100 cab roof rust fix
@Daveford72 My roof repairs 1964 F100 roof are underway finally. Grinded down the area all the way around and found a lot of bondo in mine too about 1.5 in strip of it. Drip rails are mostly ok, and will keep at it til this is done.
I’ve already replaced the gastank and got the engine running well, next gonna address the cab floor/floorpans, and then add a power brake booster, front disk brake conversion, rear drum parts clean up and replace the drums, add new gearbox, pitman arm, rag joint, and power steering pump (I’ve ordered all the parts from CPP Autoparts in California).
Lots of Summertime fun ahead.

Hey thats shaping up good
Just make sure when you cut out that the roof stays in the same place before you weld.Had to keep checking mine while I tacked it in. Keep up the Good work ![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

Re: 19 67 f100 cab roof rust fix
Mine has a couple spots working through from the inside. Sooner or later I'll be taking it apart for repairs. I thank leaking window seals for letting the carpet get soaked which results in condensation forming on the roof and trickling down to the drip rails to rust through.
Good times.
