Soaked '78

Well last night i was out bailin some hay and i moved to another field from where my pickup was parked. Well there was a huge storm commin so i was trying to get everything done. So i flew home to get the tractor in the shed(hail was commin) and i got it put away and me and my sis took off in my Ranger to get my 78 but the strom got to bad so i turned around to save my ranger. Once the storm was over we ran out to get my pickup. Well the windows were open ond my seat, my sound system and my floor were soaked( 3 in of water on the floor). It also got a few hail dings on it. I was really sad and pissed that i couldnt get to it before the storm did. Thought id share my frustration with all of you. Please share if you have a simmular story. (sorry if this should be in a different section please move if incorrect)

thanks for readin

Lane

Wow, that really sucks. Is the hail damage bad? Hope you get everything pulled out so she will dry out. The ole 78 will pull through, lol.

That really sucks but I have to ask, why was it sitting in the field to start with?

I took it out there so i could go hay, i usualy try not to take it out but my dads 78 is in the shop at the moment so we dont have enough ranch pickups. Wish i would have had the '85 or the '90 cuz they dont matter as much, but i guess it happens.
