| I guess it really doesn't matter now,.. what he was driving and,what condition the surface was in. If all you have is comprehensive and liability, and No collision insurance. It doesn't matter. ================================================ Glenn ***************************************************** I'am for the Preservation and Restoration of our heritage which includes our old trucks. ***************************************************** 07 Silverado 2500HD CCSB DMax (Daily Driver) 05 Volvo V70R (Totaled by an Impaired Driver) 57 Chevy Panel Van (project) 57 Mack B61 (for sale) 87 Chevy Kodiak Tilt N Load (SOLD Aug 03/10)

| Got the ends bent around today. I cut the wedges out of it and stood it strait up and down in a vice and heated it with a rosebud. Had a buddy of mine stand on the table and put some pressure on it and she bent pretty easy. Now its just a matter of welding it back solid where i bent it and tracking down some pipe for the brushguard. I got some pics of it on my phone. Ill try to put them up later. ================================================ 1993 F-250HD 7.3L IDI E4OD 370,000 miles------If ya cant make it fast, make it LOUD!

That's good to hear. Are you gonna take the guy up on his offer. What was it? I think all you have to do is drive down to PA and pick up all the parts you need. He apparently has a spare parts truck your welcome to pick from. Nice bunch of guys over at your Ford site ================================================ Glenn ***************************************************** I'am for the Preservation and Restoration of our heritage which includes our old trucks. ***************************************************** 07 Silverado 2500HD CCSB DMax (Daily Driver) 05 Volvo V70R (Totaled by an Impaired Driver) 57 Chevy Panel Van (project) 57 Mack B61 (for sale) 87 Chevy Kodiak Tilt N Load (SOLD Aug 03/10)
