amazed!!
glad to see you healing and starting another project.

Bears63 · 07-09-2011, 02:11 PM

I have looked at these pictures several times now and am simply astounded that you survived. Did you go buy a lottery ticket too? You have some serious luck going on there.

glos55 · 07-09-2011, 02:33 PM

Being pinned in and covered with gas? Someone was watching over you!!!!! Glad you are still here with us!!!! p.s. I have n.o.s. taillight lenses for a 54 still in the orig. boxes.

198plus · 07-09-2011, 02:46 PM

Speechless.........Glad to hear your going to be OK, very lucky your still around.

mater63 · 07-09-2011, 04:14 PM

wow that truck is a mess dont let them fuse your ankle if you dont have to i,ve been on a walker for a year now since i crushed my heel the walker is a lot easier than crutches to carry things get better soon

csa daddy · 07-11-2011, 09:16 AM

ok first im glad you are ok an i see know one else said this so did you learn a lesson. if not this terrible accident is a waste of a good truck, i always figure there is something to be learned from all of our actions. but good luck with new truck an im glad you or no body else was seriously injured or killed the lord was watching over you with his angels for sure that nite.

firefighter736 · 07-11-2011, 09:39 AM

Man, glad you're ok. When I see a steering wheel broke like that I know what kind of beating your body must have taken. I'm sure you don't need to be told this but you're lucky to be alive!

Glad to see you made it through that, must have been a hell of a ride.

Slow Build · 07-19-2011, 09:05 PM

That is some serious damage. I'm glad that you survived and are recovering. Made me think about getting a roll bar.

On a different note, I found your new truck's abused twin at a dismantler in Brentwood today. Just thought I'd share.

**dtkarst** · 11-13-2011, 08:36 PM

Neat truck. Glad you are doing good and getting back on your feet. I wish my truck was still as red as yours though!

speedfreak369 · 11-13-2011, 08:55 PM

Get Well and good luck on your new truck

Actually instead of a roll bar I think a collapsible steering column should come first. Being a mustang guy too I never fully understand the big stink (mustangs got a collapsible column in 68) until I saw your pictures. This is at the top of my list for next spring.

Slowtruk · 11-13-2011, 09:11 PM

Those pictures are exactly the reason I'm selling both of my 60's trucks. I've been thru 2 major wrecks in new trucks (both 2001) that saved my life, no way I want to get in a wreck in something with ZERO safety features. Retarded.

Glad you are ok, several months late.
