Guest jimbones Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I have Graham truck / hotrod . The only thing left is the roof . Does any one know of a kit or blueprint for the roof ? I have found many Ford roof kits but nothing for a Graham. I have been searching for quite a while. Any leads would be appreciated, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stakeside Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I am not aware of any kits or blueprints. I built my own. May be best to check on Hot Rod Forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Ha ha I sent him here from a hot rod forum. We have had several discussions on replacing roof inserts, was hoping someone would chip in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I had a friend who completely rebuilt a roof on a 34 Mack with great difficulty. He could never find somebody to do one on a Dodge(might have been a Graham). He fell ill and died earlier this year,the truck will likely never get done.

ArticiferTom Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Have a Graham too. What measurements do you need ? I must do mine over but not till next Winter , soonest . The topping on mine is loose, so can supply info on sub structure . Inside wood looks straight forward . My plan is to fab total new roof for future install ,as whole roof simply bolts on to truck side framing . What are you starting with ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Did a search for "roof" in Technical and this is the result. Some of these threads go into considerable detail on making a roof. Since the original was more or less hand made of wood and other materials no doubt you could do the same. Once you see a few pictures the structure, spacing of the wood rails, etc becomes plain. Once you get the idea, and some good ash wood, you should have little trouble figuring it out. http://forums.aaca.org/search/?q=roof&type=forums_topic&nodes=15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're building a hot rod and not a "resto-rod", you can pretty much design and build your own roof. Build whatever looks good to you, that's the spirit of hot-rodding. Let us know how it works out. Cheers, Grog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArticiferTom Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Also depending on year of your Graham the Stockton production used some metal roofs . They the same as larger tonnage rated trucks .Pics man we want pics. !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
