I have been slacking on updating this but have been working on the truck when time and space in the shop allows. I work alone and have had to figure out ways to do two man jobs alone such as switching hoods. First I securely tied the old hood up to the ceiling beam and the overhead door tracks.
Then unbolt the hood and springs and carefully back the truck out without turning the wheel the foam pads are saved from packaging from new hoods.
Then just switch the hood and rehang the new hood and pull back in straight and reinstall
