Can't see any pics either. Sorry to hear about your truck though.

frog210 · 12-03-2012, 01:52 AM

Last week it was my truck and now his, i feel your pain man :'(

dieseldawg142 · 12-03-2012, 02:29 AM

yeah, it sucks getting in an accident, 2 yrs ago some lady tried parking her topaz under my 85 crew. after the initial sorrow, look at the brite side, you get to put a bunch of new parts in your truck, & after awhile it will become a distant memory. this is what happens to your leaf spring when you drive over a topaz.

bigsj · 12-03-2012, 03:38 AM

Sorry to hear about your wreck but glad your ok..

86swb · 12-04-2012, 01:18 PM

yea its not that bad just all needs to be redone

Desert1957 · 12-06-2012, 02:16 AM

Can't figure out that much damage , especially to the rear of the truck.
"Normal" driving and this happens? WTF?

Desert

KQQL IT · 12-06-2012, 02:21 AM

The front take any? Those quarters are easy to change. The worst part is the trim and gate panel.

sorry bout your truck,

id hate to wreck mine. glad your ok and everyone else is

86swb · 12-06-2012, 12:37 PM

Did you ever find out what caused the throttle to stick on you?

Hoods69BadBowTie · 12-06-2012, 02:44 PM

Wow ouch that sucks big time! The truck looks rough but I am sure it will be better then ever when u get all done fixing it

Any ideas why the throttle cable stuck yet?

INSIDIOUS '86 · 12-06-2012, 03:02 PM

Well maybe you should bag a stepside? You can buy beds online. Yours can be fixed but with as common as these trucks are honestly why bother? Get a new bed and back out on the road

willett · 12-06-2012, 03:46 PM

new bed good to go!

then you can put it in the thread of trucks that are multiple colors

74 stepside · 12-06-2012, 03:50 PM

You were selling this truck for a while, or did you just buy it?
