One less powerstoke out there...

[Torque King Jay]

Check this out. I was at salvage yard looking for a rebuildable truck to use around the yard and this is one I stumbled on. It looked like the truck was going sideways about 50mph and slid over the top of a concrete barrier. It ripped the frame rail in half on one side and bent the truck up like a pretzel. Even the drive shaft had a kink in it. They had to use a backhoe to move it because it wouldn't even roll on the front tires.

Looks like it couldn't handle the tongue weight of the huge travel trailer. :-laf

Actually, that's the new hip look. I recently had my frame bent that way. I think people really like it - all the comments and stares! Jealousy, I guess.

Looks like the truck was trying to puke up that awful 6L powerstroke.

it looks like it's trying to take a dump and it's all stuck up!

Thats what happens when you try to hook a ford up to a sled

I think it would have puked up the 6. 0 powerstroke -those are just too disgusting. Seeing that the truck had a 7. 3, it just gagged a bit

That truck was in a wreck here in Michigan, there was a post here on TDR a little while ago, the trailer/truck slid off and hit a guard-rail taking out the rail while jack-knifed (sp)

Puke up that awful 6. 0 powerstroke is a hilarious comment. I'm still laughing!!! :-laf

 

[Torque King Jay]

Guess where it is now???

Looks like the truck did some traveling if it was wrecked in Michigan. The truck is at a place in West Portsmouth, Ohio which is on the south side of the state just about in the middle. Wonder why it need to travel so far just to be parted out??



Thanks for the info

"Traffic was backed-up on U. S. 23 for much of the morning after a pickup truck pulling a trailer jackknifed. The truck climbed the guardrail, rupturing the gas tank. "



the insurance company sells them off at auctions. I totaled my 95 and it ended up in southern indiana.
