Last week I had just put 60/40 split seats from a ford ranger and new carpet in my "55", man it felt great the ride improved 100%. A few days ago i was out getting baby wipes and a guy pulled across three lane in front of he I locked the brakes and smashed into his rear side. Now I'm really pissed I get out of the truck to give him a good tongue lashing; and would you know it as soon as I was out a car came crashing into my rear!! "call the paremedics I'm about to pass out!" Luckly the lady wasn't injured but it probably totaled her car and my truck is a mess. So far one insurance has paid off for the front, the rear which is where the real damage is was suppose to view the truck today. I hope to get it all back together real soon.

 

i so feel your pain.........


but it will be so much better next time.

 

Jaye,
I am very sorry to hear of your misfortune. :-( I'm glad no one was hurt though (physically, that is).

 

Jeepers, Jay! I'm glad nobody was hurt.

Are you gonna rebuild the '55?

Three weeks ago I was rear-ended trying to turn into my road. The kid that hit me said he didn't see my turn signal and I believe him - he was going so fast it probably only flashed a couple of times from when he could have seen it until impact.

Last evening I removed the bed boards on the '48 and found the frame has an interesting 'S' curve that wasn't there before. Looks like it'll need a trip to the body shop for straightening.

Like Kenny said - if no one was hurt, it's only sheet metal.
