Right...if it wasn’t 30 degF and pouring rain I would do that...
So all of cab, roof structure, hood, all quarter panels, etc are Al.
The entire body?

Cool.
Funny story; we replaced one of our Town’s first responder trucks last year. Someone ordered new magnetic signs for the truck.
They worked on the old truck!

Yeah the fly by niters around here are having a hard time switching roofing signs to landscape signs, their starting to use the stick on hardware store letters, it appears they haven't learned the trick yet of running painters tape for aligning the bottom of the letters.

Not that I'm aware of. Chevy did the whole 'dip your toe' in approach by switching only the parts that were hinged to aluminum (doors, tailgate and hood). The rest of the Chevy body and box are steel. As far as I know, Ford made the switch and it was an 'all in' approach.

And didn't Ford use aluminum for F150 hoods back in the 90s? A buddy of mine had one s few years ago and if memory serves me, the hood corroded in spots like aluminum does.
