'66 C10 vs Ford Focus - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My father had someone in a Focus pull out in front of him a while back when someone else motioned them out. It was a pretty good hit that apparently spun the Focus out into the road (I'll try to find the Focus picture).

He got out thinking that the truck would have taken a lot of damage as a result, but was surprised to find that it really only damaged the sheetmetal (the bumper's performance was pretty impressive). He just peeled the fender out of the tire with a 4x4 and rolled on.

A minor draglink adjustment, a redesigned headlight housing, and back to normal.

Glad to hear he's ok. Also good to see the damage isn't too bad. a little lipstick and a band-aid and it will be right as rain. LOL

Vintage steel vs modern plastic. Steel wins every time.

One of the MANY reasons I do not want modern cars. LOL Give me good ole American Steel every time.
