    Suburban roof replacment

    @w-cummins how did this replacement go? I have a roof in much worse condition than yours. My '88 V10 factory roof rack studs all rusted out on me, plus I have the same front/rear door jam rot. I have a '83 2500 donor. Just trying to plan my attack.

    @legopnuematic the rod definitely moves when I turn the ignition while in park.

    Thank you @legopnuematic. It looks like I'd have to pull the steering wheel to open it up to inspect. Damn. I tried changing the tilt and starting with no luck. I'll start a new thread post when I get home. Thanks for your help!

    Why ask about the tilt column? I don't want to hijack this thread, I'll start a new one but I'm curious? I have my dash semi- apart, exposed steering column, '88 Suburban V10 (square body) was running all morning. My 3 year old wanted to play with the wheel so he was in the driver seat doing...
