He ain't done a good enough job with the paint and the internal panel that covers the back of the lights is missing so it is going back for him to finish off.............  Other than that all seems ok........  Oh and the roof wasn't attached to the tub properly there was a gap but he sorted that before i went........

Not sure when tong's open next.........

Ouch, I didn't think the damage was that bad.  :shock: So what was done to the truck?  New Tub and rear half chassis?

Post by: Jim-Willy on March 09, 2007, 01:13:52

New tub, new door, new x member with extensions.   The chassis legs and axle alignment seems fine, bloody miracle really i thought she was a right off 'til we got her home.  With the X member having some rot in it and him hitting the rear away from the chassis legs it wasn't actually as bad as it looked i expected chassis twist........
