Gumbi>I really appreciate you sharing your experience. Your attention to detail shows in each of your pics. Yes, I only need to replace the forward section. Although your pics give me further pause. By that I mean my truck is not in a frame off restoration phase. Its, a complete running truck. Concerned now if I will be able to perform all work necessary from inside the cab. Cross-bracing to keep everything square is very important. From your pics it appears that at some point you could have decided to chop the top, you were practically there. In my case I'm thinking there will enough structural strength left about the cab...but not 100% confident of that either. As I stated earlier the windshield must come out and this would maybe be my only opportunity to attack this wasted panel.
