I put mine under the front of the bed just behind the cab.

I mounted it under the cross member below the radiator. It's in the air flow but still protected.

Skip,
I also downgraded to a 2 piece windshield in our wagon . ?The 1 piece replacement was a bit too dear for my pocket book at the time. ?Many owners think the 2 piece looks better... once again a matter of taste.

And since we are talking about mods, my '61 also has the split windshield instead of the original 1 piece. At the time I restored it the sole manufacturer of the one piece curved windshield was in Brazil. The US and Brazil were bickering over some very important yet now forgotten issue and the import of Brazilian goods was temporarily interrupted.
