[image][/image]Finally back to work on my 26 roadster pickup, been at it a few weeks , I have a couple questions , first , is the metal cover inside the bed over the rear spring necessary or can I leave it out to make the bed floor look more streamlined ? Also , although I know it’s not correct , I have a 25 roadster top , it fits , the only difference being the location of the stanchion connections . Will the upholstery for a 26 work with these bows ?
Lastly , what’s the deal with the hood shelves ? I can’t find them anywhere ? I need a passenger side one , lol !!

We have a '26 Roadster Pickup also and restored it in the mid 1990's. We did not use the metal cover in the bed and it's fine that way. Our T came to us with '25 top bows and when I noticed that they were wrong, we got a set of correct '26 top bows. Then we tried to put the '25 top covering on the '26 bows and it didn't work.
We finally just purchased a correct top covering kit from Classitique and it fit like it should. You should be able to find hood shelves from the larger T parts vendors as most of them have used parts also. If that doesn't work place a WTB (Want to Buy) ad in the classified section of this Forum.

Hope this helps.
