Guest Rick-rat Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 2eDeYe" post="1246889" timestamp="1430835684"] Good to hear you are ok. :) Do you need any panels for the truck? Hope it's not too badly damaged, it's one of the nicest 620's I know of. The bed is completely salvageable, will become a convertible rat-rod if I buy it back. hit on the outside of the frame, don't think it is bent, need a closer look If I buy it back it will probably be to part it out Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Rick I know it's not as nice but you can straight up have my blue kc. If the engine from your truck is salvageable shouldn't be too hard to drop it into the kc 5 Quote Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 i have put a dent in the windshield like that a couple times and, it's probably a good idea to just let the truck go for awhile,, and just catch up on peoples court re-runs. It will still be there when your better.. :) 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Damn Rick that's a shame, good that you didn't get banged up too bad. A lot of good parts on that truck underneath. 1 Quote Link to comment

Guest Rick-rat Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I really don't know what happened, hit the tree and then it rolled onto drivers side, Need to be checked out by doctors before I can drive again Quote Link to comment
Guest Rick-rat Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Thank you all for your support, will see what happens down the road :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Rick, 9 times outta 10 that collision will bend the frame. Anything can be fixed. But some things are better replaced. I think you are on the right track finding the pieces that are salvageable, and bringing new life to another truck. I'm so glad to see the steering wheel not collapsed and caked in blood. Trees are assholes who never respect the rules of the road. I say you go get a piece of that tree and carve a fucking shifter knob outta the heart wood. 5 Quote Link to comment

125 CSL Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Being new to this forum it is interesting no one posted up "That will buff right out" On a BMW forum that would have been posted in the first 3 after the pictures. 4 Quote Link to comment
Guest Rick-rat Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 It will probably buff out, but not by me, thanx newbie, got to look at the bright side, I should be physically healed by Canby :w00t: 2 Quote Link to comment
