Hi, I found this sight when I began fixing up my 1980. The first time I read this description "Birdbath Hood", I laughed out loud. My first vehicle was a beat up 74 Power Wagon and I was always amazed at the hood's ability to gather and hold onto water.

My thought is this: Now that the trucks are desirable they will be kept covered and inside. Some day the younger generation will have no idea why it is called a birdbath hood.
