Tristin Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 It was mostly a joke... There's obviously quite a bit of damage. 5 car accidents ain't nothing to mess with. Quote Link to comment

I will ask that no one post any of them up till I say otherwise. I know it may seem lulzy but please respect my wishes Quote Link to comment
laotsu Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Weld in a new frame rail in, pull the dents, and drop in some new steering parts... your truck was a hunk of shit before (a cool hunk of shit, it's a compliment I swear), so no one will notice. Pull the dents like a man and keep on truckin' B) It was mostly a joke... There's obviously quite a bit of damage. 5 car accidents ain't nothing to mess with. REALLY? You think the best time to troll is when someone had an injury accident and totaled their truck? That is an obvious BS line. 2 Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 No one is trolling. Erich and I are friends in real life. Do not speak on things you know not of. Quote Link to comment

laotsu Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Anyhow, I am glad Erich is ok. Let's just focus on the positive. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 So true,like the fact that the tires did not come off from the wheels with that hell of a stretch.lol Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Erich. Bummer man glad to hear that you didn't get hurt. That's one of my biggest fears is to get involved in something like that. Not a damn thing you could have done to avoid that. Most of the other people involved were more than likely thinking that you had lost your mind if you were upset with what happened. They were all driving piece of shit cars. And you were in what they thought was a piece of shit. But they have no clue how cool your truck was. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jdm720 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Good thing you're not hurt. I worry about my truck every time I hit the main streets and especially the freeways. People are waaay too distracted these days... Quote Link to comment

sockmonkie Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 As a fellow 521er, I was loving this thread! To see it end like this makes me so sad. I lost my 76 280 to a Suburban. Fu€k stupid big American cars and fu€k the seemingly VAST majority of divers out there who should have never been given a license to drive. Sorry for the loss and glad you made it out okay. 1 Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 tear down will begin on this in about a week or so.... unfortunatley i cant just let it sit and be a memorial 1 Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 so i figured id show what this truck started as, how she looked in her heyday, and her demise.... and what i am starting over with. when i first got her how she looked when she looked her best, a few different variations.... and the day she died she looked like this and here is what im starting with for drift shed v2.0 being towed home late friday night thats all i got for now..... 2 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Dude fix the old truck nothing a sledge hammer cant fix. Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Dude fix the old truck nothing a sledge hammer cant fix. so sick of people saying that, how about you come by and look at it. cab is pushed in 8 inches on the pass front, 4 inches on both rear corners, rear window opening is bent(from my head), frame is bent. bed is wrapped around the cab, tailgates curved to the shape of a suburban grill, pass fender is smashed , core support is fucked , pass lca is bent adn kingpin stuff is all messed up. not to mention that it prolly pinched a bunch of wiring... there is no saving this thing. the only useable paned is the drivers fender. and if you are saying that to be lulzy... not really funny 4 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 so are you going to recreate the truck in the image of the first one or go a different route? Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 so are you going to recreate the truck in the image of the first one or go a different route? not recreate it, but it will be on the 12s and such, basically gonna pick up(nice pun) where i left of. gonna slam this one, get it flared to run 15x12 -70 all the way around and build my lz24. it wont look exactly like the old one but it will be built along the same lines 3 Quote Link to comment
