Goose,

Give the loadmaster a break, he probably just loaded the blasted box on sideways, and that label is supposed to face aft. Ye never know with some of these guys... they canna tell left from right, fore from aft, and all mixed together!

It is sad to see anyones truck have an accident, were you running a 4:1 gear reduction in your truck, with the 4:1 it should slow the truck down enough to where if this was to happen again it probably wouldn't so much damage again sorry to see such a pretty truck get damaged.

No DT i do not run the gear reductions in any of my trucks .this was just a stupid decision that cost me my truck at the moment.like i said in the other thread "bad crash with zeus today" there are reasons why i don't run the gear reduction.i just have to be more careful next time..first time in 4 years i have had a bad mishap with any of my trucks...thanks for the compliment.it sucks but it will be back running soon

its early morning and the sun is not overhead which makes the frame look darker

Looking great Dwayne, I really like the aluminum full fenders, very nice old school custom look. Now adays everyone goes with fiberglass full fender which I'm not a big fan of.
