Yes I am, the exhaust is one of the few things that came through the ordeal unscathed luckily. It had only been on Whitey about a week or maybe 2 before the accident.
I thought I had my seatbelt on, but I did end up with a broken nose and there is a nice face shaped dent in the steering wheel... how that happened I don't know but I'm sure had I not been belted I would definitely have been injured much worse.

Not even a flat tire? Strange how some things escape damage. How the heck did you get it on a trailer, and how are you going to get it off?
Thanks for the pictures. It's always amazing to see what kind of damage happens after some of the wrecks we hear about. Looks like there's plenty to salvage off whitey. I'd stick the PCM & IDM in the house to keep them dry.

WOW! That was some wreck. Very glad to hear your up and mobile. I broke C5 and C6 in my neck and sheared off the disc, etc. a few years ago and required surgery. Not fun. I thought after looking at the pics I'd feel worse about the truck, but honestly, I'm less concerned about it now. Way more about the fact that you're all in one piece.

WOW!!! Chase, the damage your truck sustained is amazing!! You are a very lucky man to have survived that without even more serious injuries. OBS's are tough!! 
When are you going to be able to pick up the new one?
Take care and have the best recovery possible.

While I was messing with it on Saturday I could hear a slow air leak on the driver's side front tire at the valve stem, but it seems to have stopped and the tire is still holding air. How I managed to snap a D60 in half and not bend/break a wheel or at least pop a tire off the bead I'll never understand.
Its going to get parted out.

Glad you came out alive and still functioning. Sad about the truck also, another beautiful OBS lost. Was the road slippery and lost control of it? What are you getting for another truck?
