Don't you love it when your day starts out wonderfully....
Then your world gets flipped upside-down (pun intended)
This was me on the way to work- or part of the way there Hit a curve in the rain, hit a driveway, got some air, wanted a closer look at the ditch... and got it. |

Re: Don't you love it when your day starts out wonderfully....
First off, glad to hear that you made it out okay. Secondly, the truck can be repaired. It could have been much much worse.
Good luck with the rebuild!

Re: Don't you love it when your day starts out wonderfully....
Glad you're OK. Gather the report and maybe put her back together again! Did you have any collision insurance on it?

Re: Don't you love it when your day starts out wonderfully....
I'm glad you came out of ok! Looks BAD!!! Rollovers are never fun and usually don't turn out good for the occupants. Could you post some before and after pics?

Re: Don't you love it when your day starts out wonderfully....
Ditto on you being OK. That's the most important part. Now on to the truck: now you can fabricate that sheetmetal aluminum diamondplate bed for it and that custom rear 4 link for serious wheelin'!
Offhandedly, your avatar says your from Tyler Texas. Have you ever seen that guy on the speed channel show "Pass Time" named Kenneth Herring? He owns some joint called "Texas Chassisworks" in Tyler? Just askin'

Re: Don't you love it when your day starts out wonderfully....
Yeah, right... we know you were just trying to show off the side pipes.
Seriously, glad you are okay. Now may be the right time to replace it with that 4x4 you always wanted.... and make sure it has a roll bar on it.

Re: Don't you love it when your day starts out wonderfully....
Good thing that you're ok. As much as I love 73-87's, they are still just hunks of metal, and can be replaced. It's a good truck to like because they made them for 14 years.

Re: Don't you love it when your day starts out wonderfully....
There are better ways to clean the underside!!
Glad your okay. Trucks are like tanks but you must keep them planted to the road. |

Re: Don't you love it when your day starts out wonderfully....
Roof looks pretty rough but I think the rest of it wouldn't be too bad. The sheet metal is cheap. Glad you're okay. Do you think it messed up any of the suspension? Have you tried to start it yet?

It must have been a heck of a ride to have ripped your shirt right off!
