Sometimes you have to wonder what people were thinking

So I went to my local P'n'P to grab my transmission (I post in "what did you do today" on what I got). But anyway as i'm walking the yard looking for my target, I fall upon this...my wonder of how an AD made it to P'n'P turned to horror as i saw what the PO "attempted" to do.

It looks like someone attempted to do a frame swap w/an import. As you can see in pic #2, they blew the firewall apart. In pic 3 they thought they needed a sun roof and in pic 5 it looks like they tried to meld the donor vehicle's bumper in. The floor pan was trashed as they tried to do a tunnel for the trans.

The sad thing is this a single window GMC cab 54 or 55.1 if i'm correct. Another sad note is the the usual areas felt solid with the exception of the right lower fender ..

Now i'm not one to bash someone else's work, but well...and i'm sure this wasn't a member's truck cuz it wouldn't be in this state. I don't think even 99 to life (Henry) could save it in this state.

I guess the moral of the story, make sure to tell your friends about this site and they can tell their friends and their friends, etc...so this won't happen again
