Re: Wrecked ole yellar pretty bumbed
yeah, it sucks getting in an accident, 2 yrs ago some lady tried parking her topaz under my 85 crew. after the initial sorrow, look at the brite side, you get to put a bunch of new parts in your truck, & after awhile it will become a distant memory. this is what happens to your leaf spring when you drive over a topaz.

Re: Wrecked ole yellar pretty bumbed
Can't figure out that much damage , especially to the rear of the truck.
"Normal" driving and this happens? WTF? Desert |

Re: Wrecked ole yellar pretty bumbed
The front take any? Those quarters are easy to change. The worst part is the trim and gate panel.

Re: Wrecked ole yellar pretty bumbed
Well maybe you should bag a stepside? You can buy beds online. Yours can be fixed but with as common as these trucks are honestly why bother? Get a new bed and back out on the road

Re: Wrecked ole yellar pretty bumbed
You were selling this truck for a while, or did you just buy it?
