Accident - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well I had an accident with my work in progress truck/ daily driver. I had just put new drivetrain and front clip with some cab parts on it. About $1200 in all. I had some plans to get it painted and just bought a box form Texas on Friday. Well, the accident ended up me rolling the truck once down a very steep embankment at about 7:15 in the morning on Tuesday on my way to school and I recieved a couple scrapes and a busted lip that needed stitches. I am very lucky when compared to the condition the truck is in. Luckily the chassis is fine and engine runs perfectly yet. I will be placing a new cab and front clip on and doing this thing the right way. No more drive and fix at the same time. It will live one again. It's the second cab and third box and front clip it will have. They never die. Like a rock!

Thank god for the seat belt! The truck only cost me $100 when I bought it so why not fix it? It just needs a body thats all. Easier said than done. Back to work.
