I always wonder why people have such hard times installing hoods by themselves then remember not everyone is 6'6.

Looks good, the weather the next few days would be perfect to have a full vert

I would say Marty's general problem is give a ****. Sometimes he can spend hours on a truck I would have scrapped or no time at all on a vehicle I would love to have.

I took the top off by myself a couple months ago......

Golf clap.

If the driver doesn't need overhead cover, then the engine doesn't either. Hoods are overrated in nice weather imho.

I put a hood on this awhile ago.

By myself.

It sucked, as it always does.

The hood is white and crusty.

But how will random strangers ask you about your mechanical cruise control gearbox if it's covered up with sheet metal?

It's loaded with tools, parked in the quonset.

I did drive it earlier in the summer.





I then used it to convert this old granary and what was left of a machine shed into a chicken coop for the wife.



Anyone want an old Ford box trailer?



It is still full of tools from that coop renovation.

It needs a new battery.

There are some kittens living in it right now.

I would be interested in hear that number as well. Plus all in the "treeline"
