He's probably selling it because he is tired of getting laughed at.

not the first...
I've got a picture stashed somewhere on the PC of another one, think it was blue, that was mutilated in the exact same way. Not good at all. But...for somone in need of a nice cab and parts I'll bet everything but the frame and the bed are useable, no?
We'll have to all see what happens with it. It is fixable, for someone wanting to save it from its misery! :p

The sad part is....that it was still probably a lot of work. It just needs to be crushed at this point.

Are my eyes deceiving me? I don't mean the deformed look, I mean is that bed stuffed really close to the cab? I can't imagine the bed would clear the cab on a curb taken sideways.
Any buyer who wanted to install a stock-size bed would have to weld on extentions to the frame if not replace the frame altogether, right? ![]() Otherwise, I see it as a tubbed wheelie truck. ![]()

The only excuse I can think of for that surgery is an extreme case of rock-crawling 4x4 that wants to improve departure angle. But then, you probably wouldn't use a long wheelbase rig.
But dropped, with spokes? One word. Yuck. ![]() SSOW ![]()

I dunno maybe it's the margaritas talking but ... I almost like it, if you tubbed the rear, moulded in the tailgate so it was no longer usable and put on a fiberglass cover and then used it to race maybe (street or strip I suppose) it could be done up to look kinda kickass, I dunno personally I don't think I'd do it but it could clean up into an interesting looking "oddball".
