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?

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.

Re: Truck hood
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??
