Driving home last night and I hit a patch of ice on a curve on the highway the speed limit is 65mph and i was doing 45. I'm ok and I didn't have anybody else in the truck. When I started sliding I thought "oh fun the ditch" when I hit a drainage ditch that flipped the truck on its top. The sad thing is I immediately turned off the lights then put the truck in first, then I turned off the truck.
Besides breaking out the rear window and denting the crumpled roof with my head I'm good.

Oh and pics!

The funny thing is it was my daily driver till my truck gets fixed and I finished it this morning (was waiting on parts)
 
Pretty lucky I would say, roof looks pretty smushed to me...
 
Looks like a "mercy killing". Glad you're not hurt.

Is that an un-eaten hotdog in a bun just outside the window in the last picture?

That's a good way to clean out the cab!

Glad you are okay.
 
the roof is pretty bad and all of my siblings say that it was nice for me to put it out of its misery. The body mounts are gone because you could feel/see the cab move around sharp corners, she was pretty far gone but the motor never missed a beat. I'm waiting for the call saying that the cab didn't flip over with the rest of the truck. :icon_rofl:
the sad thing is the truck was cleanish before the accident

:EDIT: No thats not an un-eaten hotdog bun thats one of the many work gloves that lived in the truck

The S-10 is still good. Just cut the top off and make it a convertible. Make a fiberglass top for it, add a roll bar, and make a windshield bracket for it.
 
engine's still good eh?

Gm powered go kart FTW!
 
Lets see what dad wants to do with it first, and its home with more pics!

Is that a 23-channel CB radio in that thing?
 
Nice... we got the same one it looks like.
 
And I had a fiberglass S-10 roof that I GAVE AWAY!!! LOL

Cabs for those are *pardon the pun* a DIME a dozen! (S-dime? Get it? No? ok I'll go back to my corner...)
 
LOL the cab might be a dime a dozen but what about the bed or frame I'm thinking they'll be a little over a quarter.
Do you have to go back to your corner? Are you in trouble?
:icon_rofl:
 
Psshhhhh........Thats still drivable, haha just kidding
