Our new shelf above the windshield in our 28 closed cab pickup
There just isn't a lot of room in the cab of our pickup so I fabricated a nice shelf above the windshield. Tonight was the first time we were able to really test it out and we love it. Not only is it a great place to store things like garage door opener, glasses, umbrella or whatever, it also diverts the air better when you open the front window all the way. I added side pieces to the shelf to prevent anything from getting sucked out the windows and it worked great at 50 mph.
A metal brake was used to make some little steel hangars which support the front of the shelf. The shelf was made with poplar and stained with a pecan stain which matches the top wood pretty good. Looks like it belongs there.

Nice Job...which reminds me...An old man we hunted with told of his cousin's Model A that had Sun Visors on both sides, and a Winchester model 92 carbine would fit perfectly between them and the ceiling and not fall out as long as the car stayed right side up.

Re: Our new shelf above the windshield in our 28 closed cab pickup
The roof timbers run the other way in my '30 CCPU so I made my shelf deep enough to come back tot he first one of them for support. The shelf holds a radio, though it is a waste of time while we are driving, sunnies, logbook, ear plugs and 12 volt outlet etc
