It's only a Scratch.
Got a scratch on my truck today, think someone can fix it for me.
Ok, so maybe it is a dent or two.
Well maybe a little Bondo.
Well, mayge a lot of Bondo.
Ok, the truth. This is what is left of a F250 Crew Cab after a 190 Ton Haul Truck runs over it. No one was hurt in this accident, but it shows you how dangerious it can be at times. This was from a Gold mine in Nevada.
My Son is a Welder at Kennicott Copper Mines, and works around these trucks all day. He drives one just like it, and he rebuilds the Buckets on the Shovels that load the Haul Trucks.
After seeing this, I am worried about him.

Maybe that is where Tim the Tool Man Taylor got it. HO- HO- More Power.It may sound odd, but the first thing I thought of when I seen it was if it mashed the Transfer Case and Trans, or drove them into the ground. I think it mashed them. If you look at the first picture, as flat as it is, the frame is flattened out as well. The entire thickness cant be more then 5 inches.

Now that's a good easy weekend restoration project. a little touch up paint and a tune up and it would be brand new.
It might be a good idea for the mine bosses to put a picture of this in every vehical in the yard for warning. With a note attached stating
If you think you can handle a little fender bender with the big boys think again!
Think before you park it and walk away!

Put up a sign at ground zero (the heaviest trafficked area) that says:
"GM AND DODGE PARKING ONLY!"
Then stand back and watch the fun...
"Never tell a Kodiak 'Leggo my Eggo'..."
