Title: cab roof repair
Post by: mean79 on September 17, 2009, 09:40:33 pm

the 86 i just bought was rolled on its side and bent the passenger door in and put a big dent in the crease on the top is there any way of repairing this or is it better to get another cab? i can get one and alot of other parts which route would be best.
