    Robert: I'm sure your right, I'll be leaving them in. I think that they were used as supports for the seat. I also now believe that the tank was under the seat vice being strapped to the back of the cab like more modern trucks ?

    Well its been a few days since my last post and this is what I've done since then. My old roof was bent, warped, split you name it so off it came and I started installing a new old one. Never did a roof swap before so its time consuming, took me 2 days to do this. I made window templates, measured every thing 40 times. The back inside edge had to be un-crimped. Next I plan to hang the doors back on the cab and see how they line up with the roof. The passenger side fit very badly with the old roof so I'm hoping that this helps that issue also.

    Does anybody know if the front window on a 40 ford are parallel/rectangular from the center to the round outside corners. I had different measurements with the old roof but it had been beat a bunch. I don't have any glass myself to measure.

    Okay young man, before you grab that welder, hung the doors and have your screen so that you can check the gaps as you weld it together. As you tack weld it together, continue to close the doors so that you will see if it starts to pull. Same with the screen, once you have a few welds holding, fit the screen temporarily so that you know that everything is fitting. It is time consuming but you will appreciate that time when everything fits properly when the final fit together happens.

    I'd offer that trying to use a piece of glass (screen?) that's going to be in a rubber gasket might be a bit of a challenge. You might think about cutting a piece of plywood and mounting a couple of screen door handles on it? Maybe even make it a bit oversized to account for the gasket thickness, then you could maybe clamp it on the sides and bottom and watch to see if the top starts pulling?

    Kelly: I'm not sure what your referring to when you say "cab wood" ? This 40 Ford is all steel.
