OUCH

We got pics now give us details!

that was a cool ford, i love those ones too bad:crybaby2:

at least you weren't in a hyundai :skull:

too bad, but IMO ditch the chrome and the BUGSHIELD

:rainbow: :rolleyes:

I think we have a winner for the Fumduck Of The Year!! j/k lol

She was originally just a restore project and not for wheeling that's why all the chrome.

snowy morning, I-80 eastbound headed for morning classes, in 2wheel, in an unplowed lane, feel the back end getting squirly so I go to change lanes. While changing back end slides, I hold the slide, but a dry patch up ahead. My choices straighten and take out the guy next to me (little import so probably kill him) or try to dance with the emergency lane and guard rail. I tried to dance but sliding at 60 mph and hitting the dry spot left me little chance. caught the new guard rails with the left front spun the right front into it and finally the right rear and stopped. Frame bent/cracked and some body damage other than that looks like shes fine.

Gamn sorry to see that.....I love those old fords even though I'm a Chevy guy.. Looks like you had on-board air on it.....can you elaborate on it? I would be depressed.....all that work 2 do again...:beer: :(

Oh, that just sucks. I feel your pain. I had a red light runner take out the front end on my '73 F-250. got it straightend back out but it still makes me mad. I hope you can fix it. if not mabey find a good truck to swap all your goodies onto.

Bang

:flipoff2: :D
shon

So gawd damnit are you getting the frame straitened or what? How much bank if so.

:( :( :( :( :(

heck i thought i was gonna see some tellico guardrail action:(

Frame is getting straightened and body work too. She's going to pretty DD and tow rig status. Now I just have to find a toy (EB) to tow!

dude that sucks, i love 70's fords,
but do you have the 83 inch wide trailer? (just wondering what a fullsize looks like on it)

are you gonna part it out?...:D ...glad yer okay!

It was a very nice truck. Maybe in the future consider using 4WD when driving on snow. I had a near spinout in my M37 last week when on intermittent ice with Lockrights in 2WD (LR makes it worse in 2WD); about 3 or 4 45s before I got it under control. I popped into 4WD quick.

So whats the frame gonna cost ya?

I would have but you can't exactly do freeway speeds in 4wd. Most of the freeways were plowed, I had just switched onto I-80 and they had only plowed 3 lanes and the lane I was in wasn't plowed. I could have saved it if it weren't for that damn dry spot in the road.

Frame and all the body $3000
estimate on the frame alone from shine and Dave's was about $1300

Man that sucks, I had a 79 f150 shortbed that was in pretty good shape until somebody rammed into the side of me and totaled it .

1300 on just the frame eh. What did they need to do to it?

it was jacked pretty bad as you can see from the pics, plus it was cracked on the drivers side. They were thinkinng that they might have had to just hack a front end from another one and weld it on to mine.
