frames and these 80s fords are pretty easy to find, transfer some stuff around to new frame, or put your good stuff in a new truck. all hope is not lost young skywalker.

What a kick in the face. At least your ok, sheet metal can be replaced.



X2, if you really liked it, find another one similar and transfer all the good to it.

Find a rust free truck and swap all the good stuff into it. Sorry to hear that. It probably got hit by some plastic POS that got totaled into a ball of plastic and computer wires. Very sad!

I agree. Salvage what you can and build up a new truck with the parts you could spare. I'm curious though as to what hit your truck?
