how I got it:





how it looks now:

 

What did it cost in that shape and man why didn't you go with a sport hood you had to buy one anyway or are you getting lucky and finding the right colour parts?

 

cost about 25% of a new one. all new mopar parts. i like my trucks to look plain. i find them nicer that way, scoops on the hood of a truck are not my thing.

 

Great job. What happened to it?

 

The truck hit a moose. Todays progress, almost done:



windshield should be here tommorow

 

What's wrong with the windshield? It looks fine to me.

And wow...I didn't know a moose could do that kind of damage.

 

You have done some nice work. Looks Great

 

bottom corner passenger side is broken. moose can get over 7 feet high at the shoulder and weigh 1500lbs...........they are big!!!

 

When I worked for the Globe and Mail drivers would hit Moose going north on deliveries of large 10 ton trucks full of newspapers. Trucks get totalled and drivers get hurt. A moose can weigh around a ton.
So that truck was a totalled insurance job. Did you have to straighten the frame? It looks great, was there mechanical damage?

 

hit above the frame. some people have "replacement insurance" here. smash it they buy you a new one! the guy had the choice to get it fixed or get a new one, he did what we all would of done! all new rad, condensor, electric fan, clutch fan and clutch, thats all the mechanical. only hit passenger side. right on the side rail.
