Tree vs 67 CHevy truck..Guess who won - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

extd56 · 01-15-2008, 04:31 PM

I was at a friends house that wanted to show me a free truck that he got the other day. Not too much left except for a grill that he gave me and he is pulling the engine and trans and then off to the steel mill. This is a victim of the storm that we had last week that had some very high winds.

Good grief! I've never seen a tree do that much damage to ANY vehicle unless the vehicle hit the tree!

No kidding, even after landing on the cab it still bent the firewall, that's serious timber.

eric67m · 01-16-2008, 02:52 AM

He should have gone with the smaller pine tree air freshner. They hang from the rear view mirror and will not colapse the roof......

*Retro68* · 01-15-2008, 04:45 PM

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Thats heavy duty suspension at work.

**Palf70Step** · 01-16-2008, 03:35 AM

No problem, just let kevin (Rockcln) hammer it out. He aught to have it good as new in an evening

**special-K** · 01-16-2008, 04:12 AM

What a shame.The fenders and one door look good.

panhandler62 · 01-16-2008, 06:48 AM

Sheesh Tim... you're as bad as me.. I was thinking the same thing!

68shortstep · 01-16-2008, 07:56 AM

My parents had a new '58 Chev Brentwood ? model station wagon that a giant maple tree smashed into a V-form in the middle, after a windstorm.

It would "lay frame" way before that was cool..........

Sorta impressive how much damage Nature can do.

68 short step · 01-16-2008, 08:15 AM

wow, that is a strong window...

betonj97 · 01-16-2008, 08:33 AM

Thats pretty bad.......those winds did lots of damage we had a couple trees hit the ground out here as well! and of course neighbors trash cans were on my driveway...it look like I had gone become the trash can bandit! have fun parting it

Jerry Jones · 01-16-2008, 09:48 AM

Yikes, what a way to go. Poor 'ol girl.

wheels67 · 01-16-2008, 10:12 AM

heck, take a sawzall and cut the remainder of the roof off, and it'd prolly still haul that tree to the dump. i'd do it just to say the truck really did win the battle, even if it becomes an organ donar later

MisterE72 · 01-16-2008, 05:22 PM

Sure hope no one was in it when it happened.

heavy71chevy · 01-16-2008, 02:22 PM

corn · 01-16-2008, 02:40 PM

Thats a bummer. The truck appeared to be in pretty solid shape. Another one gone...
