MO 69-72 hood - terrific shape! Attention patina folks this is a good one!

[Clatterville trolley]

Probably one of, if not the best shape hood I've seen for this year range.

I shined up one spot on the hood to show what it could look like with a bit of work. Some surface rust under front edge - but only that, surface rust.

One small divot shown in pictures circled with chalk. Otherwise I don't see anything else but a few spots with paint nicked or scratched - also shown in pictures.

I live in Columbia, MO - half way between St. Louis and Kansas City on I-70 interstate and would prefer to have you pick it up at my house.

Asking $150.00 for the hood. Look the pictures over carefully and I think you will agree it is worth it.

Thanks for your consideration, Jay

You wouldn't happen to have a passenger side fender in that color would you. Thanks.

I have one that is two tone with white, but the cup is shot - so it would be difficult to keep the "original" theme if that is what you are after. Jay

Thanks. That's definately what I had in mind. Nice hood btw. What product or method did you use to get that spot cleaned up with?

I used some Meguire's (sp?) I have had for a while. It was a three step / three bottles system. One removes the oxidation, second cleans it up some more, and the third is a polish. Really didn't have to work on it that hard. Jay

May be correct - IDK as I've not done a patina truck or know someone that has. Just wanted to show how good of shape it was in. Sorry if I screwed it up for someone, but still a darn nice and solid hood don't you think?? Jay

That's not patina...that's oxidation. You proved how nice the paint is, and how easily it can be brought back. Great price!

Dang, I could have used that hood if it was a 71-72 without the emblem. Do you happen to have the green cowl off that truck?

Sorry, I don't have the cowl - do have rest of front clip though with pretty nice driver's side fender in green and white two tone combo. Jay

Time to move this to the top.

OK, if not for your truck - what about a wall hanging in your 'man cave'?

Ken - If I hadn't just had an Awfulexperience with Greyhound I would be glad to ship the hood to you. I sent a fender to N.C. and it took a month and during the month no one could tell me where it was! That is the short story - sometime when you have a half a day I can tell you the whole sad tale.

Is there any other transit possibilities you would like me to check on pricing? I guess the reason you are interested in Greyhound is the cost factor? I suppose I could send it that way, but you would have to be ready to wait and wait for arrival. They only put shipments on when there is room and in the summer time there is a very, very, high ridership - thus no space to haul shipment because of luggage for riders.

Please let me know what you would like to do and I will try my best to do it. Thanks, Jay

I read that story and laugh, I have one I bought 6 months ago and he is having the same problem, though with 2 maybe I end up with 1, if anyone knows a better way let us know see if anyone chimes in

I hope this hood deal all works out. Just to say I have had the same experience with Greyhound. I am not sure if any one knows that Greyhound will not insure any used parts. Pretty scary thought . I asked a buyer of a hood if it was ok if it would be ok shipped un insured . That was the end of that sale. Kind of glad because I would have had a 60 mile trip to Greyhound. Remember , no insurance and no tracking and as you found, hide and seek. (This is my very short version of the story)

My terminal will not take hoods . They said it was too big. I am not sure how everyone else can ship hoods and I couldn't but was kind of a blessing.

I thought I found the answer with Fastenal. For a little bit. When I told them I was shipping a hood they said it would have to be crated because of insurance reason. So after crating the weight of the hood was so heavy with crating shipping was over $300 plus $75 for lumber plus the price of the hood .

Shipping is an interesting thing. Did anyone else notice that the shippers all upped their rates due to the high fuel cost, but now with fuel as low as it has been in quite a while there isn't any move to drop rates?
Also, I have found that going to the UPS store is quite a trip. I took a housing for a heater (minus the core for weight reduction) and had them box it thinking that if it was damaged I wouldn't get dinged for "not packaging correctly / adequately" and the claim wouldn't be denied. Well, they charged me over $7 to package it and said that it would be $44 to ship it (I'm sure Priority shipping). I asked for the package back and took it home where I repackaged it by cutting the box down by about 2-3 inches in length. I took it today to the USPS counter where I usually go and asked how much to ship it the least expensive way and he said $20 without insurance. Supposedly the $44 was the cheaper rate between UPS and USPS according to the UPS Store.
Not really trying trash either place, but you really have to be on your toes to stay ahead of them. Jay

I've used Greyhound dozens on dozens of times for decades and never had an issue. I guess any shipper can have a bad deal. I had a simple package not show up from USPS. Months had gone by and I had long since figured I got ripped off. Then, one day it showed up looking fresh as a daisy

I have had good luck with Greyhound as well for every other time before. However this experience was the worst. I would chalk it up to just the law of averages if the worker at Greyhound hadn't told me that ever since July of this year they couldn't even tell their passengers the correct time to arrive for their bus to load. He said that there was a "Management switch" and after that things were chaotic.
I will be glad to send the hood by Greyhound - it sounds like you understand going in what to expect. Send the money and I will get it ready and send it. Thanks, Jay

I will weigh it and estimate the shipping to give you a quote on sending it Greyhound before end of the day (9/10/15). Jay

[Clatterville trolley]

I weighed the hood at 70 lbs. and figured from Columbia, MO to Concord, NH in the Greyhound package express calculator and the figure they came up with was $115.00 to ship the hood to you. I looked on Google maps and found Newbury, NH which is listed in as your location and it seemed that Concord, NH Greyhound station most likely was the closest to you. Let me know what to expect - I have a person who says they are coming by my house this weekend and is interested in the hood. I will need to know if you are taking it and sending the money so I can tell him it is already sold OR, if you aren't interested please say so as I don't want to miss out selling it to someone else if you are going to pass. Not intended as pressure - just the honest truth. Jay
