Holy Cow, WHAT happened to this truck?
On Hemming's is this listing of a VERY damaged Chevy.
https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds...0/1944809.html How the front bumper survived without a dent - is amazing, there is very little of this truck that is not damaged INCLUDED the vin plate...maybe a few rims

Re: Holy Cow, WHAT happened to this truck?
Hit from behind and driven into another vehicle but even the starter got torn out. Curious how the driver would have made out.

Re: Holy Cow, WHAT happened to this truck?
bend the frame like a horseshoe as well, the interior picture looks pretty bad based on the steering wheel.

Re: Holy Cow, WHAT happened to this truck?
Wow, unless it has some killer drivetrain I don't quite see how someone can see over $1000 value there. I bought a 66 a few years ago with a bent front frame for $235. Sold the cab for $300. Gave the motor/trans. to a member here I never met cause he needed one.

Re: Holy Cow, WHAT happened to this truck?
All I can think about is the severity of the hit that caused that amount of damage. That had to have been one heck of an impact.

Re: Holy Cow, WHAT happened to this truck?
There was a bad chain reaction accident near me this morning where a car ended up partially under a box delivery van...the grill and front bumper looked pristine, but the hood folded up against the windshield as it caught the rear step.

Re: Holy Cow, WHAT happened to this truck?
I spotted this truck while roaming the wrecking yard in ft worth. Took a quick video of it. The wheels and tires made it out unharmed. They were sitting by the front counter for sale. They wanted $300 for them. When I got there looked like someone had taken the mirrors and parts of the dash. https://youtu.be/Sc7i6V0A-aI

Re: Holy Cow, WHAT happened to this truck?
That had to be a 50+ mph hit! Or a loaded truck. Looks like the gas tank bent the seat frame in your video.

Re: Holy Cow, WHAT happened to this truck?
front frame horns might still be good... and the back glass... but yikes.
Makes a good case for a collapsing steering column.
