Work in progress *pics*

Heres a 2001 F350 7.3 Im working on, The kid bashed into and over a bunch of large rocks, it was on the virge of being totalled but we kinda saved it. Bent all the steering and tie-rods, smashed all the coolers and rad support, bent the crash bar into a "V", broke the fan, bent the driveline, twisted the leaf spring hangers.....and Im sure some more. Frame is straight though, these frames are stout! Around 10k in damage. Ill post more pics as Im going, but heres where Im at now, all tore down, ready to start changing the suspension.

Oh and for those that remember I was asking about one of these trucks that had a one piece driveline a while back, this is the truck, for some reason he got rid of the carrier bearing and put the one piece driveline in.

You should tell him the wheels are bent and it damaged a tire... i'll pay a pretty penny for those.......

kidding. That sucks tho, my dad would kill me if i ever did something like that since he owns the truck. I can understand jay's position, but believe me, its not ALL kids my age, I've seen too many friends get killed from driving stupid

Very awesome job man I wish I could be able to do it. Though it really would make me want kids that get these trucks to play like that to pass a test before buying them

Haha, Only parts that are damaged or changed for whatever reason. Sometimes people want there mirrors changed for a tiny little scratch, sometimes they want a fender changed for a tiny little dent, you think Im gonna throw that stuff away.....
