Default Man down

This is what I did to my 9th gen last week

Was just carrying on through a green light, other driver ran his red light.
Two pumps on the brakes and here's the result.
Insurance says its is total loss. (frame buckled under cab, cab shifted to the right etc.) will miss this truck.

wish that was the case,
look how far the cab has shifted to the passenger side.
and the frame has buckled down, right where the box meets the back of the cab. could either fix the frame or buy two 9th gens. (would cost about the same) that before any body work.
was a great truck! but i guess i'll be on the hunt for my 3rd 9th gen f150.

If you were closer I'd buy those body panels from you, getting hard to find Pacific green and frost silver trucks.

sylver91 - ah yes a great colour combo. hard to find panels, but I found it quite easy to locate the paint to match.



thanks for the sentiments guys, I'm doing okay, have a squished disc in my back now, causing a fair amount of siatic nerve pain. hurts but i'm mobile now and walked away from this one thankfully! (also quite glad my 4 yr old daughter wans twith me, which she usually is)


Good news is a have a new 9th gen f150 now!
