Ok this is gonna be kinda long, this has been the worst year of my life, first I get rear ended in my work van which fucked up my back and tottaled the van.

then my grand father passed away who I was close with. Then I broke a rib fuckin around with a friend, then last week I got laid off, then yesterday I died a little. My pride and joy of my two trucks was my 1973 ford courier. I was cruisin down the street doin about 35-40mph ridin low in the front, i look in my rear view cause my buddy was following me when i turned around I saw railroad tracks in front of me, I had no time to air up the front or even brake. My engine crossmember caught the second rail, i came to about three minutes later to my buddy shakin me and blood everywhere, he said when the truck hit it came to a dead stop and the ass end came up off the ground about 10 feet and slammed back down. I bent the whole steering collumn with my chest. I'm lucky I guess just a few stitches and a broken nose with some bruising on my chest. but god damn do i love that truck i drove it everywhere. so again sorry for the long ass story just thought i'd share as i'm recovering I am going to see the truck tonight so I will get some more pics.

Damn dude that's rough. Is the truck okay from the cab back? Not frame wise, just body wise?

I'd be willing to donate some time on a new frame. I have a Toyota clip here at the shop waiting to go into something.
