Might make a good flatbed

[CrabGuy]

I wonder if the frame is seriously jacked up in back?

I think they're selling the engine for $1400... with a warranty. Maybe it comes with the entire truck.

Sure looks like it took a pretty good hit in the rear.

I also assume it's engine only but my son is looking for a smaller flatbed project chassis so I emailed the seller to see if it's legal to sell as is. It's probably at a dismantler since RC is the junk yard capital of NorCal. If it had a Class II hitch on it the frame is definitely roached but possibly salvageable for a flatbed conversion.

According to the bull bar on the front... it appears the truck was sandwiched.

It just looks twisted up to me...

Yeah, looks like the the DS lower grill area got shoved back. Face it, I'm just attracted to the Sonic Blue Pearl paint. I'm a sucker for a shiny penny.
