Kiss another one goodbye
So, nobody is hurt! About 2 months ago, my brother bought an Ebay special, '72 GMC 3/4T, 2WD, SM465. I was really impressed with the overall condition of this truck, and jealous 'cause I've always wanted a GMC. Still has the original AM radio in the unmolested dash! Bought w/o a motor, but other than that, it was ready to drive. So we pulled a motor from the garage, dropped it in & had her running over the course of a couple of weekends.
Now to the point, Saturday, he calls and asks how to pull a fender off of a tire... The story I'm getting from him, is he was pulling into the parking lot at work, and his foot slipped off of the brake, and he hit a wall. That was one fierce wall! The frame horns (at minimum) are bent, fender, destroyed the grill, bent the radiator support, inner & outer fenders, and pushed the outer into the door, so I'm guessing the cab/firewall is mangled as well. And that's just what I saw looking at it for 5 - 10 minutes. I'm glad he's OK! I might talk him out of the bed, I hope. But this is one that'll never get to see asphault again. RIP ![]()
