"Relax, My old man is a television repairman and he's got this ultimate set of tools......I can fix it."

On a serious note, you're ok that is all that matters. Take a piece off (an emblem, rv mirror, something) and put it in the next truck you get. It will remind you of the memories.

[Masherbrum]

judging by the pictures, and what you just said.....and from years of township towing.......i'd have to guess you were a little faster than 15mph.

What gave that away, the "teepee" hood?

I don't think he's old enough to know that line.

I was 3 when my dad bought it new. He drove it, my older bro after him, and then I. After all its been through i cant believe that something as simple as going 15mph and hitting a parked utility truck while blinded by the sun is what put the girl down. I grew up with the thing and honestly i got teary eyed. My father took me to all my little league games in it. Its been through hell and back, paint faded and scratches which we welcomed as character. I drove the old girl everywhere and loaded her countless times. I had countless memories with her as we grew up together.  to my 97  f150

Glad you are ok, and I want there so I m not judging. I keep telling my teenage daughter that it takes only a split second to undo what others spent years of care on. And my dad told me once when I was a teen and lost control on an icepatch at 20 mph :' either way you are trying to put it son, even at 1 mph ... if you crashed you were going to fast'.

Huh, 2 days ago, my little Phony Pony (2001 Mustang) got run over by an '00 F350 with a 12'' lift on it. NOTICE, I didn't say it got "hit", I watched it as it got "run over" by the truck when I was on stand.

That'll buff right out....

I might be young but never too young to know a classic, I'm sure he'd toejam AND kill me. I find myself having much 80s influence for some reason even though i was born in the 90s. I have a bad ankle for example, I don't wear a brace, i tie a red bandanna over it to give it pressure. Much of the older folk ask me if that's a style coming back and i had no idea what they were talking about.
