Frigged up my truck
 
Last night I hit a large piece of debris on I-26 and tore up the passenger side front fender and demolished the door. It blew out the front tire, then proceeded to cut a large hole in the door and even bend the cab of the truck. I had a choice to hit the car next to me, or go down an embankment or run it over. Now I need a fender, bumper, tire, door and serious repairs to the cab. Man, how quickly things can go to $##+.

That sucks man!!! Just look at it this way, overestimate the damage....complain as much as you can.....get as much money as possible.....and buy a whipple!!!!!

Wow larry that really suck but Im glad your ok. I have a spare F1 you can have that has about 70-80% treadlife left. I know its not much but its a start. Hopefully others will have some of the parts you need laying around.

Let me know if you want it.

I'm glad you didn't crash Larry. You can always fix the truck.

Whaler 10-07-2007 10:15 AM

Thanks. I have an extra pair of matching wheels and tires. I put one on and it drives fine. Whatever I hit also went through the tire and straight through the rim. Oh well, it's off to work the boat show, and I don't want to be there now. :(

sorry to hear about that luck larry....just glad that you are alright...cars can be fixed/replaced

chrisheltra 10-07-2007 10:27 AM

Just take off all the stuff that got damaged. That will save you some weight for your showdown with Randy!

Sorry to hear you messed your truck up. Norton and Richardson in Summerville does great paint and body work. Chris in Sav. could probably save you some money. They guy that painted my truck. If you want his number give me a call.

Never can tell what is on these wonderful roads here. That sucks majorly larry. Time to total the truck out and I will buy it for $4500. :lol: That way you can start fresh.

Glad to hear everyone is OK Larry. I hate to hear about all the damage to the truck.

Man that sucks and I thought my tailgate was bad. Im going to have a hood. I know you didnt say yours was hurt but if it let me know.

Whaler 10-07-2007 06:12 PM

Thanks for the replies. I am kind of bummed, but on the bright side, it will look better than before. Good luck at the track to everyone.

No pics. I don't know how to even download pictures anyway. It doesn't look all that bad.
