Had a real rough night
Went out for a night of boozing and good wholesome fun. Got pretty trashed and got my friend to drive me and well he isnt used to my truck nor the power it has. Got a little skinny pedal happy and misjudged a turn and found a tree at about 50mph-ish. The result isnt pretty
left front body mount
what my head did to the windshield
buckled the cab
crushed the rad support the whole way back into the motor
yet somehow the grill is fine?
The wrecker guy said it was amazing we both walked away from it. Had we been in anything smaller than a one ton chassis truck we would be dead. Built Ford Tough is a little more than a slogan to me anymore

it was a dirt road so traction wasnt good even at its best.
On an upside note we hooked a chain to the left front sheet metal and pulled it with the tractor, got it so the fan could turn. Truck fired up and purred. So thats a serious stepping stone. Also a local body guy/mechanic stopped by and looked over the frame. Said if it is tweeked at all its not noticeable and body shims could correct it. This is in the back of the frame. I measured the front all up and its as true as it was the day she was on the showroom

He was drunk, so it was probably difficult to gauge how drunk someone else is. No point in getting all worked up now, it already happened, nothing will change that. He walked away, that's what's important
