Re: anyone have something fall off their truck while driving?

Lippy,at least you where parked,eh?

Just remembered another...
In my`72 K/20 Cheyenne Super.I had been up in the mountains seeing friends and had run it hard alot that day,on & off road.On the way back,very late at night,I pounded across this bridge down a big valley and that`s when it happened.My auxilary tank`s front bolts pulled through the rotted wood bedfloor.Fortunately the gas in it was so old it wasn`t exactly flammable.I heard a thump then immediately saw sparks flying behind me.I had a heck of a time,3:30 am trying to re-mount or remove that thing.I gave up and decided to take the shoulder to the next exit just creeping along very very slowly with the front edge just scraping along.It must have caught on something because the truck took a hop,so I stopped.There it was lying free,so I grabbed it up,tossed it in the bed,and got my tired butt on home.The next morning it really hit me how lucky I was and that was the day I parked it until a restoration was done.
