Is it too tight, will it hurt the cooler walls, does it fall loose. NO it fits great and again, find it at Walmart. Guess I'm ready to buy fresh chicken in 90 degree heat and get it home safely now. Wonder if I'll get 30 years out of this cooler.

This thing fits perfectly with or without the lid. Bought it at Walmart with the cooler. Drove the cart around trying them until I found one that fit.

A little oomph from you and your brother/buddy and here's your reward... a huge rolling Ford bucket to catch rain water in. Next year a soft top is high on the priority list.

What I can now use to remove my 86 top. Once you've got everything off and greased and tapped and dyed, you too can do this. Go slow and manual the first time, with lots of lubricant, or you may strip things.

If your vacuum canister isn't adjustable, get one aftermarket, your mileage jump will pay for it. Better have good plug wires and gap plugs to Ford or MSD specs.

I used this 1/4" NPT-18 plumbing tap I got from Home Depot for $7.00 CDN, the plug is $1.35 CDN and with over a 7/16" hole, the axle empties pretty quickly.

Here's a suitably flat surface. I just slapped two 1X3s down and lowered the top onto them for storage. The junk on top, to stop it from blowing away, is optional.

My tap handle wasn't big enough so a 12 point 1/2" socket did the job nicely.
