Lets see how GM / Dodge would do in the same crash?

Says this link isn't available. What's the exact name of the 6.7 group over there?

On another forum it was told that the jaws of life sliced through the truck.

This to me is priority number one.
I could care less what my truck looks like after an accident. If I can stay alive and healthy I can make enough money to replace a truck, I cannot replace my wife or kids. I am amazed at some of the accidents that newer cars and trucks go through and the drivers have just minor injuries. Safety has came a long way in the last 20 years.

It is possible fire rescue cut the truck that way... That is why I like the WHOLE story, not just the picture.

And yes, the most important part is did the person survive the wreck.

Glad to hear the driver made it out OK.

Small world...I bought my current truck at the same dealer...one of the highest volume F-150 dealers in the US.

While that does look similar to what we firefighters call a 3rd door conversion, most of the time they peel the doors the other way (toward the hinge) and I don't see why they'd keep the quarter panel connected to the door. Or the doors connected at all, usually if we're cutting that much we are gonna go ahead and cut the doors completely off so they aren't in the way.
