This will make you sick!!!

I found this picture while looking for a picture of a different truck. This was my first 67-72 GM truck. I paid $3000 for it it about 1992. It was a base 1969GMC short bed truck with the 307 2bbl with automatic trans. It had the rear leaf springs (unusual??) and a 5 guage dash. The truck was in perfect condition inside and out. I added power steering and had ordered an aftermarked "in dash" AC for it when the unthinkable happened. I was driving up I-75, north of Atlanta in the pouring rain and a punk in a Honda in a very big hurry tried to force a lane change too soon and clipped the front end sending me into a spin.I eventually slammed into the back side of a guardrail on the other side of the interstate at about 50mph while skidding backwards. It rolled all the tires off the rims, broke 2 rims off the truck, jacknifed a small utility trailer that I was pulling completley under the truck and basically totalled the truck out. The frame was bent, it broke the springs off of the frame, the battery went through the hood and ther was only one usable piece of sheetmetal left. State farm tried to pay me $700 for the truck so my lawyer had a talk with them and I ended up with $3200...I still lost out!!!
