The truck looks surpisingly good. Is the chassis rails straight.

New cabs are cheap

some old codger was looking in it just after i passed it..

and he parked me in with his trailer...

so buy it before he does... the bugger.

Steve
Been away for a few days - only just reading about all this.
I have been in a high speed truck roll-over - hit a kangaroo at 100kmh - that put the truck sideways, hit the spoondrain and over we went four or five times. Got out barely able to breath but otherwise unhurt ad then spent the next six or eight weeks lying on the lounge with severe arthritis along the spine.

I know the breathlessness, the stiffness and the sheer shock. Glad your ok and hopefully the whole is not a money hole.

Mike

next one needs to be a three litre diesel i reckon.

hence.. "OLD TRUCK"



still it's the right shape tho....

and it can be christened , "The Truckosaurus II"

Did you ever find the Sidchrome tool box and the floor jack that were in the back of the truck?????

Good luck and best wishes Steve.

Jesus christ, lucky you guys escaped without any serious injuries.

It's a shame about the mini's. The guy responsible need's a good old fashioned fist to the jaw.

there was a tool box in the back seat of the green car...
i found some of the tools all over the freeway... a lot are lost.
my brothers engine lifter was under the green car... bit bent now

holly crap,
when u said accident I wasnt thinking demo derby more like a tbone or rear ender.
glad your both ok
would have looked like a multicar pile up to passers by

Ill let James know there could be a little bit of a delay with my front cut,
oh yeah you probably dont know who this is, its Rod from Sydney

on the up side maybe the green one could become a convertable

Don't forget to include them in the claim. (and anything else that you think may be missing. )

Definitely go the Diesel. That truck must have been painfully slow with that load. Maybe you could bring in a Dyna or something from Japan?

But don't think about it now, just rest up.

serious tho, we can do a deal with swap for some parts/engines etc

hope you`re all ok, & i`d buy a 4x4 duel cab mitsubishi canter like mine, go anywhere while carrying anything
