Well, I will have to withdraw myself right now, Maybe in a month I'll have it rebuilt & reinstate myself.

Made a mistake today & got the truck stuck in a sand pit. OK, stuck going forward ~ I did back out it. But that did'nt stop me.


But thats not the worst of it. When I got if free I hit the same hill again & rolled her over. Wish I was able to get a pic, but it knocked the batteries out of my camera. I do have a pic when I got her home. I still fired her up & drove her 23 miles home after the wrecker got her back on all 4.

 

wow, that sucks man. hope you get it back together.

 

yeah, it does suck, pissed me off to , I knew better then to hit that hill at an angle. Only vehicle that I have to. My body man is slow but good, it might take him a month or even 2 to get it fixed up but it will look better then new when I get her back. I'll be adding picks of the rebuilt in my gallery when I take them.
Oh, did I mention that I was only in that pit for about 10 minutes when I rolled her?

 

ouch.....that sucks man.

 

good thing the road construction season is over! don't have to worry about getting to work but now have to worry about getting the cash to fix the truck!

 

The good thing is nobody got hurt!

I had my 2 young kids & a 10 yr old cousin with me.

I had laid it over on the drivers side first, then was able to get all the kids out & in a safe place before she decided to roll the rest of the way down the sand hill.

it's been 24 hours now & there is about a foot of snow in the cab.

 

its never a good thing when the greasy side of the truck isn't on the bottom......

 

I'd be interested. Once the '90 sells, I'll pick up a '74 with 33's. Either way, I spend quite few weekends near Mankato, my folks like about 8 miles SE of there. I'll be down for the next two weekends, maybe we can touch base. I'm near Mpls, so I'm only an hour from Mankato.

u work at wendys dont u? U drive a blue bronco. Me and my friends go there like everyday for lunch but soometime we should go out or u can give me avice on mine. I have a 1986 ford bronco efi 302. I just put a fuel pump in and i am still having probs but u know what it was free so i am going to put some more elbow grease into it and maybe we could get together sometime.

 

I may be a little late to get into this years plans, but I'm in the process of moving to the Springfield area from Roseau. I'd say I'm a little over an hour from you. My `83 250 isn't much of a mudder but I've been working on a `78 "do everything" long bed for the last 5years. Who knows...I might be driving it next year.

Anybody need a house near Roseau?
