Glad you're OK
Same thing happened to me in Dallas years ago. Sunday morning on my way to NAS Dallas for naval reserve. I totaled out my BMW 320i and the large land yacht that caused me to hit the concrete barrier smacked his left rear quarter into the concrete, saw my car wrap up into a ball (like yours) and took off.
Glad to hear you're OK and that you're working on finding a replacement truck.

Glad you found one, I was getting on here to tell you I just heard about a running 63 for $450. I don't know anything else about it though.

Yes it would have been worse. Lucky the truck took one for the Home Team. My dad is picking up the new truck on Friday and driving it back to K.C, MO. I picking it up on Sunday to drive it back home.
