so i rolled it

Yep I finally rolled my truck. opps it was at low speed <5mph on the road. I was doing donuts in a parking lot and it just slowly flipped driver side first with a low cut halfdoor. im fine but I broke the new windshield dam. i would have been crushed but i just made a nice little rear cage and that kept the back of the cab up. Time for a cab swap this one was done anyways the wiring sucked and it had dents. i will get pictures soon. Here is some of it before.

Hey Neil,

Part that cab out bro or keep it for nuts and bolts Nothin' beats a truck sitting there to rob parts from.

Backyard looks worse than mine! I'm gonna show my wife your pics to get some slack

Thanks for sharing man, truck really doesn't look that bad.

a low cut halfdoor........ i just made a nice little rear cage

I have a feeling that these are "before" pics.


I love the look of the early trucks - especially on some proper rubber. Let see the roll-over pics!

Neil, Were you born and raised in West Virginia before you moved to Washington? looks like some of the yards around here. Don't have to go far for spare parts.
Glad your alright, it could have been worse!, Mike

<5 mph and your cage collapsed at the A-pillar? - not to mention the butted tubing that separated behind the B pillar hoop (I hope those were cut after the fact).... WOW. What did you use for your tubing-wall thickness?

Glad you are OK.

Cebby, his cage doesn't go to the A pillar. As far as he says it only goes to just behind the seats which explains why the A's collapsed. I think??????
