This sucks.......

I wrecked my truck yesterday. I had both my brothers with me and their both fine. I was comin up on a curve on a sloppy dirt road and she slid strait off the road over an enbankment and into the tree. I THINK its mostly body damage, so hopefully its not totaled. Ill put some pics up of the wreckage later. Im gonna need for sure a new grille, bumper, hood, drivers side fender, and drivers side headlight assy. It wasnt leaking anything luckily, so i think the rad is fine. Hopefully i can rebuild her better than before. I got alot of hours and alot of money into her already, and i hate to see an old ford die when she still has lots of life left in her. I probly could have drove it home after they pulled it out...............

What area are you in John? Other than the hood, the rest is plastic, so light enough, and small enough to ship. I suspect there's more of us that have most of those parts you need.

I dunno it was a pretty good sized tree. I hit it with a 7000 lb truck and it just took a small chunk out of it.

oh what a bummer.
don't worry John.it sounds like you should be able to put her back together from a good parts truck or salvage yard parts.
good luck.
check your local salvage yards for your parts and prices:
