Re: Truck hood

I rented a 10x15 storage unit years ago. Had stuff in the attic, spare bedroom closet,8x10 shed in the back yard and in the garage. Maybe a friend could help out?

In my estimation that’s a great idea.

Re: Truck hood

well if you do end up storing it against a wall. definatly have it resting on its side instead of on its ends near the windshield. the side provides a flat surface and you wont curl in the 2 end corners. I like the ceiling idea though. id get some Unistrut and all thread and make perches for the hood to rest on up there.

Can you hang it from the hood latching somewhere or put a few bolts into the hood and make some sort of a hanging setup. or stand it up somewhere??
