thanks guys. Dads at the place where it got towed. He cant get it to start now. Do these trucks have one of those shutoffs that are supposed to kill fuel flow when you wreck? It was still runnin after the wreck. I shut it off.

I know the gassers have it.

The older model 87-91 has the switch on the driver side kick panel near the emergency brake pedal. Never seen it my self, never looked for it lol. I read that long time ago somewhere.

Not as far as I know. that switch is on efi equipped rigs for safety reasons because of the electric pump.

That is if it has power to them. It seems like yours gets its power from a junction on the drivers front. it could have killed the power to them.

One thing about it, them trees are still just as tough as they were when Henry Ford rolled the first car off the assembly line. It looks like your rig did allright though, at least it kept you and your brothers safe.

oh that's not bad.you'll have her back together in no time John.
looks way worse than it is.
slow down on them turns when it's slushy like that.
hey,at least that side was the worse of the front fenders too.
tho in this pic,it doesn't look like it hurt it:

but this one,it looks like it did.is that just an illusion from the lite or is it really bent in on the front side/top part of it?

yea ive been meanin to replace that fender for a while now. Just gotta wait and see what the insurance says now. The place its at now says itll cost about 4k to fix it. Of course they priced everything out brand new.

yea that fender is bowed out some. It got pushed back too so you could jus barely open the door enough for a skinny guy to slide in or out.
