Can't seem to open your pictures but it's hard to see how they could hit it that hard to push it against the shop? Lovin' my alarm on my truck + my pit bull + my neighbors! :pray:
Did it damage it much?

Good day Guerra,

Wow, I'm really sorry to see this--that looks truly painful. A '67 nonetheless. They're not exactly growing on trees these days.

That's just dirty. Hope the right side emblem is ok...

Hope they catch the Furry Anklebiter and that you can get at least some satisfaction.

If you want to make a trip up northwest I'll swap out beds and bumpers (HD) with ya... or even swap out trucks. :wink:

Jeff, the bed i put on 4 months ago is pretty trashed, the front of bed made hard contact with the back of the cab. the passenger side does not look to bad. It was a hit and run so I have no idea who did it? and phantom yes I'll trade if you got a highboy.. :D

Just look for the local tweeker with the ratty azz Civic that has a torn up right fender, hood, a-pillar and windshield.

I was thinking more along the lines of a 68 F250 Camper Special, or maybe even 2 F250's... no Hi Boys here.

probably wa s a caddy if it wasn't stuck there when OPD got there. You know if you had told me thirty years ago that green haired, bones through the nose punks driving big tank like caddies or chevies would shove a ford truck through the side of a shop, i'da said no way in hell, now i'm not so sure anymore.

Hope they find the Wankor who dunn it man.
