Gary,

I know you guys from down under have a little different terminology on things than here in the states. I'm pretty sure a bonnet is a hood, but you got me on the turret. I'm think tanks have turrets, but 56 Fords? What the heck is a turret?

Hi

If turret means roof the only one that has any to my knowledge is Gibbons it is made out of fiberglass and gives the appearance of a 2 inch chop.

The bonnet (hood) are only reproduced in fiberglass but you can buy the whole cab in fiberglass in fact the whole truck except for bed and tailgate.

Well thats what I know perhaps somebody is making the parts but arn't doing a good job of advertising.

Chuck
