.... we tend to spend too much time on the heavy bottom end and tend to forget the lighter top end. Lucky for use we got it in time.

When we did a fuel stop I noticed that the 3/4 inch wide molding that goed around the top was now sitting on the cowl.

It seems that when we left we removed the cab 12 hood so as not to loose it...... air being rammed into the engine compartment by the rad openeing and the hood opening..... and the fact that the rear most engine cover panel was removed..... created one largemetal parachute.... the roof was easily raised by hand at least 8 inches. All the screws that held the molding and top sheet metal to extra dry wooden inside structure all let go...

So lacking duct tape we belted everything down tight.....
