New to this forum. Pulled the old girl out of the garage today thought you guys might enjoy it as much as I do! Finished repairing the roof last fall and really haven't had a chance to enjoy it.

Haha no worries. It actually has one (hidden by the mudflap), I had intentionally turned it down like that due to where I was storing it before and didn't want it holding water/snow ect due to the odd angle is was parked on.

On a side note I've been getting a message when I tried posting a reply before stating it needed to be reviewed by a moderator, but the post never surfaced.

Appreciate the warm welcome everyone! Since my other post never saw the light I thought Id try again. I had picked the truck up as a project with the 82 crew cab swapped onto a 93 dodge w250 frame already completed but the cab was a mess, a previous owner had filled the roof with spray foam that sure helped expedite the rusting. When I purchased the truck it came with a spare cab with a decently solid roof but the floors and rockers were shot. I spent the past 2 years or so drilling spot welds and replacing all the rot and damage the spray foam caused.

Ask and you shall receive!

Very nice work on that cab roof work!
Welcome to DTR.
