Goes to show you how well built these trucks were.Hey thanks guys, luckily it was only me in the truck, and I can only assume that my steering box is now missing a couple teeth, or a bearing crapped out. Thats after I got the tractor and put it back on its feet, it landed on the driverside.
I've been hit with Zippos before big ouch.I have nothing but a slight scratch(didn't even draw blood) on my side where my Zippo case hit me(it was sitting on the seat)
Unfortunatly I don't see this one making it back to the road, I think the frame is ok, but the passenger front I-beam\hairpin\spring is all toast, as well as needing a cab\bed\front clip swap. Its just more work than its worth. So I'll grab the motor\tranny\driveshaft\axle and lots of little stuff, and I guess send the rest to the crusher If anybody is near GA or needs something lemme know, I'll give ya a good price, and can ship some smaller stuff. Unfortunatly the only usable body panel is the tailgate, and the driverside bedside is ok if somebody needed that. The floor pans are solid and the dash is straight(I think). Also the bed floor is solid, but has dips in it.
She will live on in some other vehicle, be it another truck, a mustang(what the motor is out of) or a torino or something like that. Poor ole girl had 345k miles on her, hate to see that one go...Dang I loved that truck.
