Holy crap 78, what did you hit? Or what hit you? That door took a good beating. I assume you have a new door for it, cause that one is toast....

thats exactly what I was thinking, well you got to look at it this way it could have been a lot worse.

*FUNMUDDER* · 10-23-2005, 05:31 PM

Ditto...........it could have been a TON worse then what happened. Sorry to see it stove-up, though. Looks like its still a nice truck.

c.nash · 10-23-2005, 09:48 PM

what the **** happened?

Brainchild · 10-23-2005, 10:44 PM

Well I would have bet money that door wouldn't open.

'78 Fleetside · 10-24-2005, 10:32 PM

i hit a fire hydrant... the seats i have in the back of the truck were in at the time, and they say almost a foot lower than my bench does. I was coming around into a parking lot and there it was on the end of the little grassy area of the opening into the parking lot. Well i cut that turn a bit too sharp, i couldnt really see how wide the opening was, and i turned right into it going about 15 mph, no brakes applied at all.. When i hit it completely stopped my truck, tires were still spinning, i thought i hit the curb or something.... so i backed up and then seen the fire hydrant come into view.. i thought i hit it head on. So i get out the truck to see what damage i had done, im looking at it thinking... hmmm... what happened? then i walk to the side and see it like that and i just wanted to cry lol. Brand new tires all around, ripped the front right tire, scratched the rim a bit. It went in the wheel well and ripped down the side like that. But i have found a door and fender at a local salvage yard, 125 for both together. So im going to strip them down, then slowly start my proccess over again with her. Still trying to decideon a color, not sure yet, could use some ideas if anyone have any. Thanks for your comments guys.

Well, I'd like to see what it looks like too, but for some reason where your
images are attached all I see is a wide, shallow box, that says," Attached Images".
Can someone please explain why I can't see them ?
