Who's truck was this?!?!

[Got Smoke?]

Was wondering thru the new pics in readers rigs when I came across these!

:--) :{ :{ :{ :{



I was almost doing what the last smiley above was doing when I came across these pictures. Someday in the future I have plans of making my 97 a full on pulling truck, but hey don't we all. But I can't think of a better tow rig than a 1st Gen 4x4 Dually! However I would have to have a crew cab converted to CTD for the room! I have a friend local to here that has a truck identical to that one, but its a D250 coverted to a D350 almost even the same color(bed needs to be painted). Whoever this truck belongs to I feel your pain, that is truely a cherry ride... . only 65K :{ I have to ask... . is it repairable? The tidbits with the pics said the hit didn't hurt motor/axle/x-fer case but made no mention of frame or totaled/rebuildable?

91 views and no one knows who the truck belongs to?

 

[ARedetzke]

apparently not

 

[TKingsbury]

Judging by where the front suspension ended up, I'd say it's a total.

Travis. .

GS that friend of yours. Did he go to Schieds this year? Me and Case500D meet a guy from TN running a converted W250 there. It was red also.

Yeah he did... ... . tall, skinny, younger guy but acts like he's 40 and has a real slow southern draw. :-laf ... ... that would be him.



WOW! I can't believe that came outta my area! Most of the 1st Gen's around here are a little rough around the edges

Me and Jeremy talked with him for an hour or so. We were just getting ready to leave when he pulled in. He is going to have a nice rig when he gets it painted.

Yes he definately will! However I don't see it getting painted anywhere inthe near future! It would look identical to one above if he did! :--)



Yeah his truck, but in a crew cab flavor with 2nd Gen 12V motor would be my ideal (dream) tow rig. Oo.

Maybe... ... . maybe not. Look at how low it was hit in the front!



I know there had got to be *some* frame damage from having the axle ripped away from it, but it looks like whatever (car) hit it that it was low enough to go under the frame!



I hope this guy becomes and active member and keeps us updated on the rig! Oo.

It doesn't take much to total a 10+ year old truck. It sounds like the guy that bought it isn't afraid to fix it (sounds like his line of work). I wasn't saying it can't be fixed, just that it was probably a total in the eyes of the ins. co.
