Thanks everyone!

Hi! I made my first trip for the season today and just want to thank you all for helping me out this winter with multiple questions.
It's very, very much appreciated!!!! For next winter I hope I can find a "Fulton Style" visor and modify it to fit my -52.

Hi Mats! Your 52 is looking good! You must have a short driving season in Northern Sweden.

Is that a flying saucer behind you?

Yes, it's a flying saucer! The season is quite short, about 4-5 months over here just below the arctic circle. Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks! Yes, there are not a lot of them up here. I only know about one F2-51 and two F100-56 but in the southern part there are quite a lot of them especially the -56. Once again, thanks a lot all of you for multiple advice and assistance!!!!!!

Mats - your truck looks great. The navy blue with the off white and red accents is just perfect. Hope you get ample opportunity to enjoy it!
