That down right stinks! I would be crying like a baby if someone did that to my '53. I think that is why I get so nervous driving it. It's the other idiots on the road that scare me.

I'm so sorry, man. I'd be howling like a dog! I always thought yours looked sharp, too. My '56 has a 223 in it and I swear it would TAKE a semi to write paid to that old workhorse.

Here's TO the old girl!

Sorry to hear about your loss. Hope you find another 48-60 to compliment your new 72. I'd really miss the periodic adventures of Madathlon if you weren't trolling around here.

Hopefully you'll be able to salvage a few things for future projects. Man, you and that truck have been through it lately!
I guess sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug! Sorry for your loss Mad.

I would not handle it very well if my truck was smashed. My explorer..well ok, stuff happens, but not my truck.

Sorry to hear of this, it is hard enough to keep them from the crushers and then have some idiot run over it. Good luck on finding another older one.

Really sad. I think I am going to cry.

Let us know how you get treated by the insurance folks.
