counterman6 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 1996 RD- 0Overpass- 1We didn't get the dumpbody for some reason, just what's left of the truck. Too bad, it's a beautiful truck other than the ding in the frame...

BAD DOG Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 It kinda reminds me of Jackie Gleason's police car in Smokie & the Bandit II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambi80 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Don't people spend a lot of money modifying and/or spec'ing a truck for those cozad ramps or whatever they're called? That's a good candidate right there. Quote Ever wonder how a blind person knows when to stop wiping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterman6 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 I just wonder how far off the ground the front end came up. Check out the pivot point for the dump body...it tore out completely. I sort of expected a bent steering wheel, hopefully this driver was wearing his/ her seat belt.

counterman6 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 The rear-rear axle housing isn't bent, it's broken. As far as the windshield, not a scratch. The title for this thread came from a truck we cut a while back that had, "John, is your body up?" written in marker across the dash-board. Apparently John was known for this sort of behavior.

james j neiweem Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I believe many of the old B models had triple frames. Would have come in handy in this sitiation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
