This summer my long-time companion died (a 1986 C-30 service truck).:(

I acquired an F-SuperDuty w/ a low profile 9' bed w/ top boxes and a brand new crate 7.3 for less than the cost of fixing my old friend. (I won't mention the 5-spd was in pieces that I had to Tig back together.)

Anyway, to finally get to the point, I have been organizing and fixing up this truck along and along, and have run into some things that I know can be done better. So, I made a thread to ask y'all about them.

1. How do you keep hose clamps?
