Thanks for the offer Brian, here's the problem;
My VC 3 originally came with three hood hoops, I think steam bent single piece ones. I've decided to go with nine bits of wood and six corners salvaged from a later 3/4 ton Weapons Carrier, but I don't know the correct height to cut the side wood to. Since a lot of them will sit slightly higher or lower what I really need is for someone to just give me a tape-measure dimension from the top of their hood bow to the bed floor and I can adjust the side wood accordingly.
I know the overall height of the hoop is 88" from the ground, but I'd like the bed / hoop top dimension before I go cutting if I can get it.
Fortunately I won't have this problem with the TD 20 pickup as it isn't set up for either a hood frame or troop seats.
regards, gordon
