Houston, I thnk we found the problem!

 

sounds likes some of you might need these

 

 

Wow I forgot that this thread went off the deep end a month ago. Haha. Time to get back on topic.


I am going to keep using this as my general documentation of work done to my '95 Ram thread. I settled with state farm last week for $2000 less than what we originally agreed on. Reason being that I am trying to buy a house, and I need the money. So for damages done I will receive $5300 and my title will be branded total or something stupid like that.

For the sake of the thread, here's the pics of what has become of the truck since the wreck.

Before:


After:




















It needs a drivers fender, hood, grill, core support, headlights, radiator, and front bumper brackets. I plan to use that all aluminum radiator dh posted about, and hopefully find a nice set of panels off a red truck in a junkyard. Then once it is back on the road I will continue with the plan I have always had for it of 4.88's and locking hubs.

 

So you get to keep it! Shame you had to settle for less. But at least now you can move forward. Good luck on the house thing!

 

Ditto.
Sucks you settled for less but at least you get to keep it. I've seen a few pictures you had posted but boy I didn't think it was THAT bad. Could be worse though, couple of trips to the junkyard + welder + torch + free time, she'll be good to go lol. Best of luck with the house dude.

 

Thanks, and that's what I was thinking about it too.

 

A BFH, a chain come-along, heat and give'r...... plus all the other stuff.

 

Build a dedicated off road truck.. Cut fenders. Big tires.. You got the truck to haul it around with

 

Happy belated birthday. And stop "rolling coal". It gives the rest of us diesel owners a bad name.

Edit. And dang man that sucks about the truck but why not take the cash and buy another truck and put money into it? The frame looks like its gonna take some good pulling to get close to straight. Believe me i have been a certified frame tech for about 5 years and pulled a good may frames.
