Cool Damn! I bent up my truck last night.

I had to make a quick move to avoid some old folks that weren't paying attention and ended up curbing the passenger side running board. Its bent up and the paint is obviously thrashed.

I am not sure if its going to be better to replace and repaint or see if I can have it bent back into shape. I'll try to get some pictures up tonight.

Bummer. The good news is your OK. It can be fixed. I had a friend once cut a corner too short coming out of hotel during the nationals one year, took out the right running board. It was a one owner (him) truck. He said he had to repair that board as all the sheet metal was original on his truck.

Sorry to hear that, thankfully it was only the running board and not a whole lot more and of coarse nobody hurt.

Sorry to hear, i know your feelings all to well. I had a old guy try to do a uturn in front of me back in 96. i hit the guy so hard with the front pass corner that it spun his car around and hit the rear side of my bed. The driverside cab/bed clearance was touching and you could put your fist on the pass side. Hell even warpped the cab back wall. The guy had no clue what happen!!!! Well he paid for it!!!!

Happy no one was hurt. Of course bodies can heal, but old metal parts are hard to find. This is old fart territory. We can hold out on the cookies. Now what would a frosty be without cookies. Duh, chuck
