The biggest fear most of us classic truckers have is that a day like this day would happen. You re driving and suddenly BOOM.
Our 1979 F150 Raptor Swapped truck got into an accident. Luckily nobody was seriously injured and the truck only sustained body damage and mechanically it is 100%
It will get repaired & back to better than before.

Glad you are OK. Also glad you were in a older very solid truck. Trucks can be fixed, humans not so much.

@iansteward4708 11 месяцев назад

Isn’t it actually a newer truck?

@nathanmcdonald610 10 месяцев назад

@@iansteward4708 Yeah, it's built on a newer F-150 frame and just wrapped with vintage Ford truck sheet metal. There's a big misconception that older vehicles are safer and that could not be further from the truth. Newer vehicles are a hundred times better in a crash than cars/trucks from 40 or 50 years ago. I love vintage cars and trucks as much as the next guy, but facts is facts.

@joshwilliams6910 10 месяцев назад

⁠@@nathanmcdonald610they’re not safer but I think people get the part where they can take more of a hit and not have so much damage confused with being safer but the person inside will still get fucked up cause the car/truck isn’t absorbing the impact as much as a newer car/truck will.

@Robert8455 11 месяцев назад

Color change is just going to spend more money on it that you won't recover. I say count your blessings it wasn't any worse and nobody got hurt. Yellow really narrows down potential buyers but it is what you have there. I say fix it back and maybe add some free style inspired graphics in the white area.
