Glad Boppa is okay, sorry to hear about his dog not making it. Pets and trucks like these are also family members in my book. Will be missed.

Re: Boppa's old yeller truck

Yikes! I'm glad your dad is okay. The frame and front clip is gone for sure but the rest of it looks okay in these pictures, can the rest of the parts be salvaged and used to build another truck?

Re: Boppa's old yeller truck

So sorry to hear about his dog not making it. That breaks my heart. I know how close we can get to our pets. Truly family members. I hope the prosecution doesn't hold back on this idiot.

Re: Boppa's old yeller truck

It is done, the bed might be ok. Cab is diamonded, pass door is off by an inch and will not shut. We're hoping we might salvage the drivetrain, but we don't know.

We have been overwhelmed by the support both from the community online and real world, it's truly touching and we appreciate it.

The prosecution is literally married to a family member that was at the hospital. We have assurances that it will be handled to the fullest.
