Im wondering wahts is the best way to bend my passenger cab enough to put a new windshield in. insurance totalled it but I bought it back for a few hundred

What are my options... I was thinking a hi-lift or something
any help would be appreciated thanks

i would say it woudl be really difficult to get it back square, let alone get a new windshield to seal correctly. pics?

Well its hard to tell what your damage is with a red x in place of the picture.

But my buddy rolled his pickup on its lid and had what im assuming is a similar problem. He got it close using a hilift, and i think he used a forklift of comealong to pull the roof back into shape.

Its possible, but hard to do. Its his wheeling rig, so im sure it has minor leaks.

Best optoin may be to weld in a whole new section of whatever is bent.

Im not sure if im the only one who cant see the pic

heck i dont even see a red x. just cage the runner and forget a silly windshield

if only for wheeling just use Plexiglas for the windshield.

i believe he wants to be able to DD it again you guys....

Best case would be to chop the A-Arms off, and swap in a new roof.
When you rolled it, you stretched pieces of the roof and you'll never get it back into the shape you want..

This will be my wheeler, it will hit the road for only a few miles before it gets to the good wheelin spots, Im having trouble getting the pic to load of of my photobucket account, its a good one 2

Then in that case, use a hilify and sledge hammer and get it close. Then make a plexiglass windsheild to fit the shape of the hole. Then just screw it in and maybe a little silicone to slow down the leaks.

First order of business, throw those sweet rims off the olds on there

Thats what my buddies truck looked like. Still isnt pretty, but he got a pretty good seal on it.

for sure sounds good, yeah thats my cousins 83 caprice with a brand new 302 in it he traded for his 86 regular cab toyota pickup with 325k on it (it was about to blow) not a bad deal

man that looks like a LOT of damage, looks like the front crossmember is bent up alot, how's the suspension?

Moonfish

I was totally gonna say that.

How about a cab swap. That's going to be difficult to get square again. How bad's the frame? May want to just start over.

2DoorRunner

Hell no, if you only on the road a couple miles, make sure its all safe to drive, then wheel the piss out of it. No more worrying about dents!

yoder519

haha pic made me laugh. your all sad cuz you rolled you runner, and that dudes cleanin his dubs haha. another vote for plexiglass
