2008 ROLL OVER DAMAGE

I just bought a 2008 that was rolled over. It runs perfect and is mechanically in great condition. My first project is to fix the roof damage, any ideas on how to fix or just suggestions that would help? Thank you.

 

If i were going to fix that, I'd look for an intact cab at a salvage yard and go from there.

 

Uh.

Get another cab?

I don't know how'd you fix that. Cut the top off, build a cage and have an offroader?

I'm interested in what others suggest.

 

What color is that?
Also where are you?
Also why TF don’t people put where they are?
Jeezus we don’t need your address but a general idea helps a ton

 

Another cab. Pretty sure there is no fixing that.

 

I have a cab is why I ask

 

Crunched. That's Crunched color.

 

I see doors, fenders and even 2nd Gen truck beds on Craigslist and Facebook market place often enough. I’m no expert but if you’re able to hammer (sitting in it and hammering towards the sky) that roof back into relatively decent shape, piecing the rest back together shouldn’t be a problem.
Good luck and welcome aboard matey

 

Its black, Im in Texas. I’m also new on here, didn’t realize my location was number one priority. Geez, just looking for suggestions or ideas. Thanks

 

U.S. flag and no sidewalks, I’m assuming Oklahoma

 

That’s what I was thinking of doing. I’m just worried about the roof are for now so I can put a windshield on. The rest is easy work. But this roof

 

Didn’t mean to get at you, just been noticing people lately not putting location when it’s relevant. No biggie.

 

The biggest issue is getting the doors to seal properly. The windshield is easy, use more glue. A bottle jack, hammer and dolly, and beer will fix most of the dents.

I'd swap cabs though.

 

If you’re able to piece the rest back together, which shouldn’t be too hard with where you’re located, maybe consider having a shop do the roof and windshield and you the rest.

 

The roof panel isn’t really the problem. The a-pillars, structure between them and the structure between the a and b pillars are your issue. You aren’t gonna hammer those back into place. At least not for anything street-worthy. Get a new cab. I can’t imagine it making sense to try and fix that.

 

or make it a convertible.

 

I'd want a windshield at a minimum. bugs at 60+ mph can be painful.

 

Swap cabs,nobodies "fixing" that. NOBODY.

 

But it looks like the roof did its job and protected you... or whoever was in the truck. Good luck with a fix.
