Glad to hear ya'all are safe and sound. I hope you truck made it through after holding a tree up, just remember, it's 40+ years old, not the worst thing it ever saw. good luck and be careful with the chainsaw

The tree was just holding the truck down through all that wind.. doing its job 'n stuff.

leftcoast66 · 09-28-2008, 03:35 AM

Glad the family's safe. The rest is just the small stuff. How's the truck look without the tree?

Another guy out in Woodlands had four trees go down in his yard. One of them damaged his 56 International pickup and 2 others hit the roof of his house and garage. He is OK also but suffered some serious property damage.

Here are some after pics. The top is dented as well as the hood and side cowl on the driver side. The rattle can black paint was scratched. I am working 12 hr shifts.

Iron-Butt · 09-29-2008, 07:34 AM

I had three trees split in half. One hit the car and truck. The second hit the fence. The third hit my neighbors three cars in his drive way. a 08 Camry, a 07 4 runner, and his 65 Lincoln town car.
I also lost about 180 ft of wood fence.

Tim64 · 09-29-2008, 07:49 AM

Wow! Sure hope insurance is going to be helping you out.

kizer · 09-29-2008, 10:18 AM

Bummer man. I hate to read threads like this. At least what damage you have is fixable. It could of hit your house.

protrash64 · 09-29-2008, 07:51 PM

Thanx for the update....the truck looked bad in that first pic!!! Glad to see it only has some more character.

283 Man · 09-29-2008, 07:57 PM

Glad everyone ok,main thing....

ElkyRacer · 09-29-2008, 11:56 PM

The night before the storm hit here, I had my wife help me pull my 64 and my CJ7 away from the neighbors tree they were sitting under, which had been dropping large limbs on the jeep, and my storage buildings for the past month. Low and behold, this nasty storm didnt drop a single twig off of that tree! Go figure. Glad to see you guys came out ok!

original_balzer · 09-30-2008, 01:53 AM

WOW glad everyones ok and the truck dont look too bad either. One of those stud welders 1 package of sand paper, and 2 cans of paint should have you fixed in no time.
