I'm thinking from what I see is I have your main center area of the roof unsupported and my interior light is where your bed light connector is at. I also have the support that the connector is on and there is nothing between that and the windshield support. The sides of the cab at the doors looks the same also. The entire center area is just sheet metal. I also have the channels going down the sides of the roof on the exterior of the cab. For me anyway, the unsupported center of the roof would be a welding problem without supports to maintain the shape and I'm not good enough with a jeweler's torch on sheet metal to control the heat. If I do this, that's something to solve. One of the reason for the model. To see if the roof can come off and go back on without cutting the roof in half and seaming it.

BTW, been meaning to thank you for the I6pv delete, or whatever it was. Seems to have solved most of my stalling at the spinning circle problem on the computer.

Maybe I am thinking of this wrong... but wouldn't you be removing the material in the 4 pillars where I've circled to chop it? I would think the roof could remain in tact this way.



Glad the IPv6 trick worked for you. We had a server go rogue a few months ago until we turned it off. Without going in to detail, its biggest issue to me is making your device public, which opens your network as well. In a business environment where you've got employees bringing in their own devices (cell phones, tablets, laptops, etc.) it is less than ideal. IT people are either strongly in favor, or strongly opposed to it. Doesn't seem to be a middle of the road. I turn the crap off when I see it on.



EDIT: Rivers.... if you're interested, this kind of details what I am talking about. It is an older article, but most of it is still applicable today. I actually believe that the newer MS Exchange Server was updated to not require IPv6, or their client base would be very small.

You're thinking right. The four pillars will need to be cut. The doors will also need to be cut along with the glass. The side glass is a concern though. Hopefully the model will help with that. I'll see if I can get to my truck today to return some pictures of my interior side of the roof.

I'll check the link out. I'm very interested. Went through identity theft about 8 years ago and crap still shows up on occasion over that.

Sorry for leaving this out. As you lower the roof the cab gets wider (the bow in the side of the truck) and deeper (the angle of the windshield) so the roof needs to be cut and filled. Another reason for the model.

Correct, Rivers.

Curious... what browser do you use? Seems like you have a hard time getting links to open.

LOL, yes I do but that's not the problem at the moment. My left button on my mouse died yesterday so my right button is the left button now and I have no typically right button functions until I get out for a new mouse so I'm using the keyboard with a limited knowledge of how it works. I can cut and paste and that about it, cntrl c and cntrl v. That's the extent of it though. I didn't get to the link until I quoted your post. With what you posted usually the right button function, open link in a new page, would have opened the link for me.
